My Sulcata all of a sudden cut loose with a massive amount of dark brown urine (diarrhea?) with brown solids in it and is foaming at the mouth. I am in the waiting room at the vet in a total panic. Has anyone experienced this before? He is a rescue I have had for 2 Yrs so I have no idea how old...

Hey guys!it I just went out to put my torts in the shed for the night and I noticed my little 9inch female sulcata had a string hanging out of her mouth. I don't know where it came from but she has swallowed some of it and I trimmed the piece off that she hadn't swallowed yet. I am a little...

Hey guys! As we are finishing the build on the new tort shed I realized I don't know quite how to keep the humidity at the right level. The shed will be a permanent part of the house and is 8'x16'x8'. It will be fully insulated, wired for heat and lighting and any other electrical needs. I...

My sister, knowing how I love my torts called me to let me know she was going to bring me "2 rescues" from TX. So I say "Awesome! Are they leopards?" And she says "No. They are the big ones like you have, you know, the Aldabr-someting-or-rather tortoises." :rolleyes: To which I reply "OMG...

View My Video[hr] So it came out kinda crummy after all the file changing and what not but you get the idea :) I'll try to upload a better video later and delete this one.

A local guy found a large male sulcata this week. He's about 50lbs. He's trying to sell it for $300 and is keeping it outside (in eastern Washington) in a 4'x4' area with a dirt floor and chickenwire keeping it in. And he's feeding it CARROTS!!! It also has a cracked lower beak and an underbite...

I need to bring my hibiscus plants indoors (along with all the other house plants we put out in the summer) and can't find any info on a safe way to get rid of any bugs they may have acquired over the warmer months, can't have bugs in the house. We usually use a systemic insect killer on all the...

Snapped a pic of Yogurts underside because her vent looks puffy to me. And surprisingly clean?? Does it look swollen? I'm not familiar with sulcata bums...

Hey guys. My new rescue Sulcata, Lonestar has started stretching his front legs and neck up as high as he can and rocking his backside back and forth. When I got him he could hardly stand and I am glad that he has recouped enough to do this little rump-shake but what is it? It is the craziest...

So, I got this pair of sulcatas that have been kept in a dog crate for who know how long! They have pyramiding and the larger one has a deformation on his right side. Someone had also painted a star on his shell. They are free in the grazing yard since I got them. I notice they tire quickly...

I searched the forum and couldn't find this so I thought I'd ask. Anyone know if it is safe to use miracid on potted hibiscus that we are feeding our tortoises? We clip blooms and leaves for them but the plant likes an acidic soil and I don't know what is safe to use. I haven't added any...

Hey guys, need a bit of advice. I was given a painted turtle (Chrysemys picta) that someone had caught by accident while fishing. The hook has been removed from his mouth and now I am unsure how to treat him. I currently have him in dry dock for the night, I figured that would help stop the...

I live in WA state and I have 3 leopard torts, one (not sure if he?/she? is a babcocki or pardalis) I found crossing the street on Maui and 2 new pardalis pardalis babies I purchased from the wonderful Ben Awes! Cruizer (my street rescue lol) Had pyramiding when I found him 5 years ago but seems...
