Meet Crackers I am looking on finding him a new home do to a divorce. he is 12 years old and weights around 70 lbs. he loves to raom the yard and chile in the sun. I am not in a huge hurry to find the new home so dont be offended if I choose not to rehome him with you. I just want to make sure...

Their is nothing you cant do with duct tape! How big is keita?

I suppose that it could make them feel more secure in a smaller box but u can see the one can't even move his head. All I know (and i dont know alot) is that my 65 lb loves to roam and this was a 2 or 3 day show. I thought the same thing about the $300 price tag. Rescues need to pay for food...

I went to a reptile show this last weekend and their was a reptile rescue there. When I went into their booth I was not happy with how they were keeping their tortoises, they barely had room to pop their heads out. What do you think? It was the International Reptile Rescue.

Ok after all the pooping questions and comments Crackers has now not gone for a week. He is still eating like a horse but no loop. Is this normal? I just weight him and he tipped the scale at 65 lbs.

1-wood construction 4'x4' 2-siding and the roof on 3-His house put in his enclosure, I also insulated the inside, put a light in, and a heater.

Do you have a local feed store? For horses ect, they sell bails of grass for cheap(I use orchard grass bails). You can also ask them for pellet form. My tort loves the pellets(I soak in water before giving to him).

Here is a little better picture.

Thanks everyone. He will be going into his outdoor area next weekend once I get power to his house for heat. I will probably keep it at 60°+. Any ideas on a large water bowl? I have found any water I put in front of him he like to climb into it then tip it over.

P.s here is Crackers

I have had a baby sulcata for about a year now. I live in Reno NV(colder winters) and came across a guy in Sacramento that had a adult sulcata (50+lbs, 25" across his top of his shell, 12years old). I have always wanted an adult and already have a large out door area for him. I always figure...

Hello New to the site in just wanted to say hello. My name is Josh, my tortoise is Patrick (Sponge Bob’s friend that lives under a rock). Patrick is a Sulcata from what I am told he is 1 year old. I just finished his encloser the other day. His encloser has a mixture of things going on. On...
