Hey everyone, Don’t know how I missed it, just saw Tom say in a comment that you shouldn’t keep baby sulcata tortoises in a pair. Needs to 3-4 or 1. So I am looking for any hatchlings for sale! I am in Wisconsin! Thanks :)

I don’t know what got rid of them, was watching them to see if they got worse, the tort shed a lot of skin and they’ve completely disappeared. Substrate I have a huge amount, it’s really deep! It’s cypress mulch, coco coir and a top soil with lots of sphagnum moss and some pillow moss. I...

@Pastel Tortie Sorry I missed your replies! Thanks for taking the time to respond to me when I originally posted! The tort is really good now, had a horrible start and is now growing so fast! No more yellow bumps either! If you get some time I would love to ask you a couple of questions!

@mastershake @Pastel Tortie thanks for all the help! Do you think that one of them is showing early pyramiding?

Saturday June 27th before lunch time was the exact date I got them. Just double checked

@Pastel Tortie no nothing at all, I first came to the forum with concerns about one having its umbilical scar, that’s all nicely healed now! Everything I read before getting them was complete garbage! I’m pretty embarrassed to say the least!

Just checked the order! June 27th

That’s the place, no not yet, literally just noticed them!

@mastershake let the people know who I purchased them off?

Just one! Nothing as bad like those other people are showing! I never saw anything before so I don’t think they were ever bigger. They almost look like a big pimple that’s popped and half way through healing.

I got two baby Sulcatas at the same time! Here is some photos of their enclosure. (I’m currently building a new enclosure for them, I am actually keeping my offices at 90 F and it’s about 83-85 when I come in at 0600ish. Have moss under the log where one loves and then made a make shift humidity...

I have a baby Sulcata maybe 6 weeks old with little yellow pimples appearing. Not 100% sure how long they have been there for! Any advice?

@Tom i have one tortoise same problem I got from Underground reptiles a few weeks ago!

Thanks for that! I never asked if there is anything special I should be doing to reduce the risk of infection and get things healing faster!

Thanks for the replies! I have had it for over a month now, no pinkish tinge, so hopefully no infection. Im in Wisconsin, any specialist Vets I can go to if needed? Thanks :D

Hey everyone! I tried searching and searching for information about this, and I’m sure it’s something basic! After soaking my baby sulcatas I noticed a black growth on the plastron on one! It looks to be going through! Please help!
