    Sulcata with sinus problems

    It might be a little farther than you wanted to drive, but there is a vet in Goleta who actually has a sulcata too... its the valley animal hospital and the number is 805-964-7755. It might be worth it to make sure you get good care - any they might even know of someone in SM for you.

    What gives...

    What would it indicated if the plastron were to be pinky/red down the middle? I noticed this on my Sulcata and am worried but can't seem to find out anything online.

    head butting

    We only have one - Morty - he is only 5 years old so pretty small still. Mostly he just headbutts us some if we're in his yard doing something but he started at pushing against the wall which is what made me curious!
