Hilarious, I like it.

This is Spot, had her a couple weeks now but just barely named her. Wanted a good classic dog name and think it goes well with the dots on her scutes (even though I'm pretty sure they will fade as she grows, correct me if I'm wrong). Also do glad I found this form, tons of good info, awesome...

Thank you everyone, she/he is doing awesome, eating like a little fatty and loving her enclosure, did a small lil upgrade and added plants (we'll see how long they last, lol) and planted different grasses that have just started sprouting

I think I'm going to use a plexi glass sheet and cover up that one side without the lamp, thank you all for your ideas and suggestions [hr] I think I'll prolly just cover that side with plexiglass, I probably shouldn't have cut it out in the first place, but at least plexiglass will keep the...

That is a great idea and that Rubbermaid tank I bought was only 20 bucks, would just need to dremel out a side on both tanks and figure out something to build a ramp/ tunnel but that would take the enclosure from 55 gallons to 110 and add natural grazing, thank you so much for this idea, I would...

Well thank you, only one is mine the other is going to a friend in the next couple days when I finish helping him finish his Rubbermaid enclosure

Yeah had a water bowl in there but found her laying upside down in it, so it immediately got taken out today, she was only on her back five minutes though and not under the water thank god, and yes I prolly by the terra cotter dish tomorrow, should I worry about covering the other side if I most...

Oh I've had her for 3 days, I think she's 5-6 weeks old.

This is my 55 gallon Rubbermaid hatchling sulcata setup, using coconut coir substrate, moss for humidity, a MVB and and undertank heater along with a humid hide box, any suggestions would be appreciated

Still no name yet

As anyone tried growing any ground cover plants, I.e. ice plant, clover or even wheat grass directly in their tortoise habitat. I use coconut coir right now and was thinking of mixing it with a potting soil that did not contain fertilizer and try this, but don't know if my sulcata would leave...

Thank you all, been reading these forums for the last couple weeks before i got her, this forum has taught me a lot, just need to name her now.

Thinking about naming my lil girl general disarray

Ordered two temperature incubated female sulcatas, both excellent looking tortoises, excellent prices, super fast shipping well packaged and awesome customer service, James is a pleasure to work with and has answered 3 emails within the last 2 days of getting my tortoises, highly highly...

Got my new baby 2 days ago, she was incubated at temperatures to most likely make her a female, she still doesn't have a name. Resides in the larger Rubbermaid container I could find with a MVB and an under tank heater, coconut coir bedding, a rock under the heat lamp, with moss around the rock...
