My fiancé and I are picking up the juvenile sulcata we’re adopting tomorrow and I’m ecstatic.
His current owner is giving his large wooden viv and all his things, I’ve already bought the few more things we need including a new tube uvb and fixture as they were using a coil, some orchard hay, opuntia pads, a pack cuttle bones, a terracotta pot to make into a hide, and two large terra cotta dishes for food and water. I also spent a few hours gathering tort safe weeds and grass that I’ve dried for him.
We’d been planning to adopt a larger tort species in the next few years and this guy popped up in need of a new home. His current owner has been feeding Mazuri and spring mix and soaking daily so he looks like he’s in great shape.
I grew up with tortoises (my dads red foot he got as a hatchling turned 46 this year) and have worked with Aldabras and Galapagos tortoises in the past and I know we’re going to be able to offer him a great home.
My icon is a photo of him from a couple months ago at his first vet visit
This sub has been SO helpful and I’ve read over Toms caresheet at least a dozen times now lol
