Two huge roughly 10 year old Sulcatas are available for adoption at the Orange County Shelter in Orange CA fyi.

Steve and Rudy had a dry breakfast on the porch today. It's pouring in OC Ca.

It's 54 degress out right now with periodic rain, and my insulated dog house is sitting at 86 degrees inside using a 120 watt RHP and a large heat pad for torts. Steve and Rudy are warm and toasty. Anyone else trying a new outdoor enclosure this winter??

Steve is about 2 1/2 years old now, he and his brother Rudy are weighed every month, and Steve gained 304 grams last month! This is his PR for weight gain. Total weight now is 2,880 grams (6.3 lbs), and Rudy is about 2 years old and gained 133 grams last month, for a total of 1,739 grams (5.8...

With no heat source on during the day in my new outdoor home, the pen is getting to 110 degrees inside due to only the sun heating it up, what is a dangerous temp for my two leopard tortoises if they decide to go in their home during a hot day?

So I take my two torts out of their heated home every morning and place them in their beautiful 6' by 6' enclosure on the grass with low water dish, hide, and some rocks for beak shaping. I now want to attach their enclosure to possibly a large dog house with insulation for them to retire into...

Here it is. 6' by 6' using 2" by 12"s. i still have to attach screen top.

Stella and Ruby are doing great and have been moved to a large 60 gallon tub on wheels on back porch. It is well heated and can be rolled into the sun on warm days. They are both looking like males though, and I want to post pics for a sexing quiz. But I haven't figured out how to resize the...
