My sulcata Rex, is about 4 years old around 25lbs. He has grass in his enclosure year round, but I supplement with greens and such at least twice a week. I have given him hay in the past and he hasn’t been to fond of it, but recently my girls we feeding our goats and putting hay in the...

From what I’ve read, many people do not provide water for their Uromastxy. Or even must the enclosure. I have provided mine with a homemade humid hide and he laps the water off the walls like a dog licking a bowl. Would it hurt to provide a water dish? I’m more concerned because of all the...

I’m sorry I know this in the wrong forum, but I didn’t know where to post it. I ordered an Nigerian Uromastxy online and it shipped out yesterday to arrive today by 12pm. I’ve been tracking the package like a mad man, but it got delayed in Louisville KY, it just left and is supposed to be in...

Hello all, I’ve ordered a Red Nigerian Uromastyx. He should arrive 10/12. Ive been playing with temps and what not in its enclosure and have that temps and humidity set. My question is more about taking my lizard outside for natural sunlight for a little while on nice days. I live in South...

My sulcata has recently started trying to ram the sprinkler I use to water his lawn. I’ve seen him bite at it a few times also. He is male about 15 inches long. About 4 years old. Any reason he would suddenly want to fight the sprinkler?

During the winter. I bring my sulcata in the house every few days to soak in the tub. He’s about 13 inches and 15lbs. Anyway I started giving him cucumbers in the tub to make sure hydrated. I figured if he is constantly bobbing for cucumber chunks he has got to be taking in some water. I end...

I know it’s hard to pin point a growth rate for a sulcata. I feel like my sulcata Rex is on the smaller end of the spectrum. He was hatched in a dry environment and first couple months kept at out dated standards. Will that effect his growth rate for life? This is him the 4 years I’ve had him.

A friend gave me a juvenile eastern box turtle, can someone please tell me if it’s male or female

Do you lock your tortoises in their night box at night year round, or only when the temps drop to low at night? I check on my sulcata every night and lock the night box and open it the next morning. Planning a camping trip soon and would rather not have someone in my tortoise enclosure. I’ve...

I have been noticing toads in my sulcata’s enclosure at night when I water the grass. Is it safe to let them be? I know their skin can be toxic, but I so foresee my sulcata trying to hunt them.

What is this, is it safe for sulcata tortoise?

Like the title says. Trying to get my tortoise to stop pooping in his night box. My 12 inch sulcata has bigger poops than my dog lol. I’m sure training him is a long shot, any tips on cleaning up the night box? I have been using hot water and rags to mop the bottom of the night box. I’ve been...

I recently built a box to haul my sulcata on my golf cart to different fields around the neighborhood. The weather has been nice, lots of weeds and grass in the fields. How do I know if he is getting stressed by the ride. I don’t think he is because immediately after parking and putting him...

Schools are shut down right now, so my little girl is doing a lot of class on the computer. Every morning she has to do a Check in video, I’m guessing as a way of attendance. To make it fun for her, the wife and I let her introduce one of the animals for her videos. I have kind of been put...

My male sulcata Rex has been pulling out his penis while soaking. Is this normal? I spray him with cold water to get him to put it up. Just wondering if it was normal behavior, or if something is wrong? Thank you. Attached a pic to give you an idea of his size.
