    Identified their sex!

    Our Little Torts.. who we thought was one female and male... Turns out to be Hot blooded MALES! We found out one day when they were soaking... and we were a bit concerned when one "flashed" us. We thought it was his anus.. and was frantically trying to figure out if anything was wrong...

    how soon before they start getting horny?

    One of our torts seem to enjoy mounting the other a whole lot. They are barely a year old. We don't even know their sexes but from their behavior... We suspect the bigger one could be a male. Any ideas?

    Er...bathroom habits?

    ours poop everyday while they soak. We kinda don't let them out until they poop. They know this already. and they will enjoy their soak/spa with their legs all spread out under the sun/light until they feel the urge to poop. When they do, they will seek freedom! We've found poop in their...

    My baby sulcata

    for our hatchling, we have a one-second rule for the soakings for the Mazuri. If we soak it too much it becomes to mushy. It's less messy and easier for the torts to eat if we don't soak it so much. (but it's super humid here)

    clipping nails?

    I clipped my torts claws and filed them so that they wouldn't scratch us. but realised that they don't climb as much as they did. Perhaps its a tool for climbing.. So we won't be cutting them again anytime soon. Unless it gets too long.. then we'll think about trimming it again. We have a hard...

    Should I feed baby sulcata at night

    :D we did that too initially as when we came home we would swtich on the lights and they would wake up. Now we mope around in the dark for the swtich to turn on the light (farther away from them) so not to disturb them. We try not to switch on the lights where they are but sometimes it's...

    Adding a hatchling?

    our same age stars which hatched together still pick fights with each other. They push each other out of the hides. Climb over each other and bite each other (where they start stealing each other's foods). U might need to keep a close eye on them when introduced (after a quarantine period). and...

    Throwing a Birthday Party for Torts!

    Dear all, My torts turn one in October (pretty long way to go) but I'm already thinking of having a birthday party for my torts. My husband thinks that's a little OTT (over the top) and that torts don't need to celebrate their birthdays. But I was thinking mebbe just a small mazuri meatball...

    Beginner Mistakes - commentary

    RE: Beginner Mistakes This should be a pinned topic for all new tort parents to be. :D excellent information. I also find that many tort owners who don't do their necessary research on the actual type of tort that they are planning to get and when they fall in love with a sulcata.. more often...

    Torts sleeping!

    Galaticus loves to dig up some coir to make a makeshift pillow for himself. He had been doing it every night since we changed the substrate to coconut coir from fir bark.
