    Help building outdoor winter box without power

    Hey guys, long time no post! My boyfriend and I recently moved across town to a much smaller property. We felt it was best for our 8 year old Sulcata to stay put at my sisters house until we find a more permanent place of living. At my sisters house he is free to roam in a small pasture but I...

The one I’ve had on mine just recently fell off and upon searching on this forum to find out the best place to put it and the best epoxy to use I mostly found several threads where the idea was put down...

All my family and good friends know how crazy I am for Cactus, I'm known for stopping on the side of...

    Are these termites?

    Hey guys! Turbos newest enclosure has only been up for a couple of months now and I just noticed a bunch of tiny bugs all over it. To be honest I couldn't tell you how long they've been there, I've never noticed them until about 10 minutes ago when I was out resting my arm on a piece of wood out...

    Sulcata vs. Squash Video :)

    IDK why but I LOVE this video of my Turbo eating a squash! Also, I think he might have flashed me for the first time EVER today! (or maybe he had a hernia... idk) https://www.youtube.com/embed/5kBSZBCYHgk?vq=hd1080

    Brown Thumb needs help with Chicory/Belgium Endive?

    I saw a list of foods my sulcata can eat and Chicory (i think also called belgium endive?) was one of them. So I got some seeds without doing any research and planted them. They are really crowded and I was looking into harvesting them. Or at least trimming some leaves. I did some research...

    Can you tell me what kind of tortoise this is?

    Hey guys! Someone I know has a tortoise and they aren't sure what kind it is. They said they got it off of Craigslist 2 years ago and was told it was a sulcata. As a baby it looked like it could be one but not anymore. They said they've researched to try to find out what it is but they just...

    Can You Recommend a Good Scale? Turbo is outgrowing one :)

    So today pre-poop Turbo weighed 1,347 grams, which is only 13 grams (the limit is 3 pounds) shy of this scales limit. So it is time to get a new scale. Unfortunately right now I don't think I could afford a triple beam scale :( But I was wondering if anyone has one that they really love that...

    How much mazuri should I feed?

    Hey guys! I have decided to try the mazuri diet. My sulcata is about 2 and a half years old and only 2.5 pounds. I know they all grow at different rates, but this seems VERY slow to me. I think I have a good diet, he grazes outside on sulcata seed mix everyday all day as long as it's not cold or...

    When is it too cold to put my sulcata outside?

    Lately here in florida it has been getting a little "cold". Right now it is 3:40pm and 56 outside. But my phone says that the "real feel" is 72. If I were to go outside right now I wouldn't bother putting a jacket on. But if I sat in the straight shade I would be chilly. I know that I would...
