    Charlie and Butters

    Hi everyone! So a couple of months back I posted about rescuing two baby sulcata tortoises from a cousin who, aside from buying them from a terrible source,failed to take care of them correctly himself. At almost 6 months old Charlie weighed 45 grams and Butters 55 grams with visible pyramiding...

    Yeah that totally makes sense. So my sister decided to take one of the two babies so they can be separated and still be in loving homes. She has a bearded dragon and loves reptiles too. I bought a 50 gallon tub to use as an enclosure for now,is this ok to use??

    Hi! It's no problem at all, I have receipts and am not afraid to exchange for these babies!

I went ahead and...

    Hi everyone!! I'm hoping for some help taking care of these beautiful babies. Long story short, I've always loved tortoises and have always wanted to adopt one. Well, a cousin of mine happened to have two that he "picked up at a flea market ". Why they were there, I'm not sure. He's notorious...
