I moved to a new rental home in Destin, FL and the yard has quite a few weeds. I just want to make sure they are safe before I send Squirtle out there to graze. Thank you in advance!

I believe this is Florida Pusley, if it is, is this okay for a Sulcata to eat? Haven't seen much info on...
I just got my new Sulcata in the mail from AZSulcata! He came in immaculate shape, and he is so small. I am very excited. Without further ado, pictures:
Thanks again AZSulcata.
Thanks everyone. I sort of feel responsible, even though I thought it was safe. It was according to the data, but its just one of those things that happen I guess. I know the dogs had no better clue to tell him from a chew toy/pet. They were my scapegoat of sorts. I will be keeping my new tort...
This is a pretty sad story, so I warn you about reading further.
So I moved back in with my parents, they have 3 dogs. I brought Blastoise (8mo Sulcata) home and they were apathetic towards him. They would look and sorta smell him, but go on their merry ways. Well I was still cautious, so for...
Thanks everyone!
Yeah I brought him inside for the night.
As for predators, I have chicken wire overtop, the only predator I have is a cat, and thats if they can climb up to the 3rd floor.
Ill bury the water dish in, he enjoys the dish, the walking up a little, but ill add some more substrate to...
the water dish is plenty big for him, and he goes in and drinks and poops in it. The location of the pool always has at least 1/3 of it in the shade, because of the way the sun moves through my apartment complex. I'll add a humid hide shortly in the future. thanks for the reply!
So, my sulcata (9 months and ~4.5in) has outgrown his indoor enclosure, even with his little balcony. I bought this kiddie pool and filled it with topsoil, (not potting, no chemicals were used) and placed some stuff for him.
My question is, with him living outside, he will only get sun from...
Just recently my Sulcata has been having floaters. I was wondering if this is a bad or good sign or if it doesn't matter. I haven't changed anything except a higher level of water for soaks, any body have any input?
Thanks!
I use coco coir, it holds moisture very well. I haven't had any problem with it at all. I also agree with the put a cover on your enclosure, it will help out.
I use olive oil, but I keep mine inside for right now. I do it about once a month or so, and like said, will polish off any excess. They are VERY photogenic once polished :)
Thanks everyone! He loves mazuri! And he is shiny because I polish him with olive oil every month or so. This was just after I polished. And the flash is a beast making it bright
My sulcata ate a piece of lime, and I was wondering if it was okay. He didn't eat much, it was actually really cute, he took a bite, then another, then pulled away fast and shook his head. Like he tasted the sour of it. It was the first time, and it was an accident that he even got some.

Being around microbes that could get you sick, is like an immunization. As long as you only receive small amounts of the microbe, its nothing to worry about. But don't go around licking cultures of E. coli, that would be bad.
