    I was allergic to coco coir!

    Oh these tiles are great. They have rough surface on them so the grip is great. However the tortoise spent the majority of the time in the outdoor enclosure anyway, this is literally his evening sleep cage. And he sleeps in a like a fabric dog sleeping space.

    I was allergic to coco coir!

    Last year, for about 8 months I was struggling with itchy patches, and me and the doctors were convinced I had eczema. Tried lotions, medications and creams with no help and we couldn't find out what I am allergic too. At one point I thought I was allergic to my sulcata lol. However, one day I...

    Rattle snakes and tortoises

    Yah I have wondered about this because rattle snakes actually use and live in the burrows tortoises make in the wild That means they actually share the space with close proximity. It's even captured on this documentary So what happened if the snake is startled and bite the tortoise?

    Smelly, Sluggish Baby Sulcata (Need Help!)

    Hey, if you can afford it, you should expand the enclosure ( use a tube). Make sure to provide: 1. heat light - hottest spot, 100F - maintaining the enclosure above 80 F 2. UVB light. Put it a good 20 cm above the shell 3. a humid hide enough for all of them - a cave, with wet sphagnum moss (...

    My Sulcata always hunt for poop to eat...

    Yes he has 4 meals a day. Is almost 1kg now He eats grasses, weeds and everything. But if I take him out for a walk. He would actively sniff for poop to eat. I have to remove him everytime from the dog poops that he found! Also he devoured his own poop as well if I don't remove it quickly...

    Tortoise and allergy

    I had eczema for an entire year out of nowehere, until I discovered that I'm either allergic to the coco coir substrate/ or the dust mites in the encolsure! Was super itchy for months. The moment I got rid of it, my eczema went away. So there's that to consider.
