Hello fellow tort lovers. My name is Dustin. I am originally from Glens Falls, NY and just recently moved to Jacksonville, FL. I have always been more interested in exotic pets over cats and dogs and have always wanted a tortoise.
Last October me and my girlfriend looked into them a little bit and wound up buying two hatchling Sulcata's from Turtleshack.com. I didn't as much research into them as I should have as our apartment at the time was not very big. Luckily we moved with our grandparents down here and have a big area for them now.
I am have learned my lesson and am constantly reading up on sulcata. I have read countless threads on tfo and thought I need to join this wonderful community.
My torts name are Baja and Turkleton (Turk). I feed them lots of grasses, hays, greens, squash, and bell pepper. Once and a while some pumpkin and very rarely banana. I had noticed some mild pyramiding a while back and since havebeen soaking everyday. They have grown a little since and show no signs of pyramiding. I recently have seen some new dark growth rings tho.

Thank you for reading and for any and all advice =]
