    Help me sex my sulcata

    Hello! My sulcata is a little over 3 years old. I have done my research on how to sex Sulcatas but I still am not sure with mine. I see the anal scutes are more of a v shape suggesting a female, however, the plastron has a bit of a concave to it. Is it still too early to tell? Thanks for any...

    Outdoor Sulcata Enclosure Help

    Hello everyone! I have a 2 year old Sulcata that of course is growing very fast! He (I believe) spends most of his time in an indoor enclosure that is much too small for him now.

    Sulcata nose bubbles and gasping

    Yeah, everything I've read says to keep them really warm to clear it up. Maybe I've gone overboard with the humidity. I'm moving into a house in the next few weeks and plan to build an outdoor enclosure asap.

    Sulcata nose bubbles and gasping

    I heard a squeak come from my 6 month old sulcata's box a few times today and decided I would take him (or her) out to soak as I do every other day. When I picked him up to move him into his bath I noticed there was a bubble coming out of his nose. I put him in his bath and a "wave" from me...
