This is starting to get a little frustrating im washing the spot every day with mist and making sure it's clean, today when i went to go look at his head i saw by his ears it was shedding a bit aswell, the spot i showed previously hasn't gotten any better yet, is there any other ideas of what it...

Well i need to do something with the roots in his burrow i think because if he keeps injuring himself that's not good thats the only thing i can think of damaging his head, he doesnt mind me touching those spots, i was just hoping it wasn't a fungal infection, i will grab some Neosporin today.

It seems to be healing okay ive been misting his head to clean the area 1ce a day. But there is this black spot by the side of his left eye? Dont know if this is normal? Im sorry for bothering so much,

Thank you!

Thank you, i appreciate it, it probably was damaged in someway he is in his juvenile stage so he's been acting a lil crazy lately. Advice on cleaning it? Just water or baby soap maybe?

Sulcatas do not shed? Kind of odd theres multiple pictures, sites, and other reputable sources that say otherwise?

In the last post you replied to, I mentioned he tries to burrow through roots that could possibly be catching his scales?

Hello just wondering if this shedding is normal, what looks like a part of his scale fell off on the top of his head its not big maybe 1/5th of an inch. Is he dehydrated? I bathe him once every 2-3 weeks and wet his food before giving him anything.

Yes almost seems like when he goes to his burrow he scoots himself back and forth. Thanks!

Thank you, i will try that when im not busy. Sorry the pics are not the best quality. But im just glad to have confirmation it could be something else besides rot.

It does sort of rub off when it is wet but I don't want to scrub too hard incase it is rot. Sorry for my lack of knowledge.

Hello, i have a sulcata tortoise around 6 years old he's a juvenile. Around a 50 lb male. I live in colorado so the climate is pretty dry not much rainfall maybe once or twice a week. He has a little burrow he likes to sleep in and dig at, maybe a foot or two long he couldn't get further...

Thank you all thread can be closed! You guys are awesome.

Also the side door is hinged for easy cleaning/access with latches to keep it closed tight.

The house is almost complete. Just need caulking. I need to build the roof. It's actually a very cool design. It's a 4'x6' tortoise house with a mono roof. Heated with a baseboard heater 1' off of the ground. Humidity will be controlled with tubs of water, peatmoss and topsoil. Insulated and...

He is actually fed everyday with soaked orchard hay I give him these other things bell peppers etc when I cook I'd rather not throw it away but it seems like that might have to change or not as often

Awesome. He just gets depressed when he's inside more than a day or 2 then goes and hides till I can take him out in the sun for an hour or 2 I give him a uvb light inside at the moment but he doesn't want it when I turn it on. He is not a baby I don't believe. Someone abandoned him or lost him...

Thank you. Lots of concerns but does it look like the pyramiding starting?

Also I'll be posting a couple tips for building these tortoise houses. A very good remedy for heating an enclosure would be a baseboard heater, radiant oil filled heaters will work perfect for maintaining a constant temp in a controlled environment. But I haven't seen any forums talking about...

I have a sulcata not sure of the age. He's a juvenile I can see that he's a male I've had him since around September of last year. I live in Colorado so it's very dry. He's been getting a regular diet of bell peppers broccoli stalk carrots and Bermuda hay i I believe or another one with high...
