Hey everyone, perhaps there is already an answer to this question on the forum but I can't seem to find it. The picture of "Yourlocalpoet's" tortoise who was stuck in the corner of the wall and couldn't back out made me think about this a bit more and I've noticed it with Nova as well. Nova...
Just a question to my fellow Canadian forum members. Has anyone ever seen Prickly Pear (optunia) cactus pads for sale anywhere in Canada? Maybe at an imported food store or frozen or something like that? I have yet to find any but was wondering if anyone else has seen it. Thanks!
Hey everyone,
I was doing some research this morning and came across some info on this unique little Tort. Smallest in the world (was going to post on the other thread but it was closed).
Has anyone ever come across any of these for sale? I wonder why they aren't more common as they are...
Hi everyone,
So lately I have been considering getting a Lizard of some sort. Currently I just care for 1 Sulcata tortoise and I enjoy the fact that it does not eat insects just because I did not enjoy having crickets in my house all the time when I owned a Veiled Chameleon a while. From...
Hey everyone,
I'm very excited (and a bit scared lol) but I just bought my first home! Its got a nice back yard so I am looking forward to building a cool enclosure for Nova...so much to do now, its definitely overwhelming!
I'll be sure to take pics of the yard to see if you all have any...
Yay or nay?
I'm surprised this hasn't happened in Canada already, but its awesome to see it happening in Cali. Do you think it will pass? I think we are a bit more liberal with stuff like that in Canada which is why im surprised it hasn't already happened in Ontario or British Columbia yet...
Hey All,
Its been a while since I've been on the forum, hope everyone is doing well. Looks like there is a lot of new members.
Anyways, just thought I'd share some recent pics of Nova...in these pics she is just under a year old. Taken just before Xmas.
This NobodyCoder guy hit a lot of sites, changed the homepage like this one. If you google the name you will see. Being a computer guy i'm impressed with the number of sites he was able to hit, good way to get a message across I guess. It sucks he got this one though, have to navigate through...
hi everyone,
I was curious if anyone has done anything like this or if anyone has seen something that would work for it.
What I want to do is have some sort of collapsable/portable pen for my Sulcata while she is small (for a couple years I guess). The reason I would like this is because...
Hey everyone, if anyone is interested in Sea Turtles, I came across this site:
http://www.unc.edu/depts/oceanweb/turtles/
It explains several experiments and research on the migratory patterns of Loggerhead and other Sea Turtles. It's quite amazing how they work and how they are able to...
Hi everyone,
I had a question relating to Nova my Sulcata having an extra scute on his/her back. It actually looks pretty cool to me so I have no problems with the irregularity but I had a question relating to Sex. I read on a few sites that the Extra Scute is most likely due to the eggs...
Hey all,
Thought I would share some more recent pics of Nova. Shes about 5.5 - 6 months old now. The first 2 were taken a couple of months ago in her old tank, the next 2 are yesterday and the 5th is her enclosure. She eats well, and from what I can tell she is doing well with Shell...
Hi all,
So Nova my baby sulcata seems to be doing very well so far. Shes very active, and eats/drinks every day. Shes growing and her shell seems to be growing in correct proportion with very little pyramiding. One question I had was I always hear her make clicking sounds with her mouth...
Hey everyone,
Just thought i'd share my experience with PetSmart. Not to toot a corporation's horn or anything (no i don't work there).
I have a Sulcata and I had him under a ReptiSun 5.0 Compact Fluorescent (coil) bulb. After doing a lot of reading I saw that this can be quite bad as...
Hey everyone, I was wondering what your thoughts were on the ZooMed Grassland Tortoise Food. I bought some for my Baby Sulcata as part of his diet until its nice enough to get him outside grazing.
Here is the URL. To me it seems like it has the right Fibre/Protein amounts. I know a lot of...
Hey if anyone is interested in seeing, heres some pics of Nova...Ive had him/her for about a month now. It seems healthy to me, but I'm inexperienced...what do you think?
Hi Everyone,
I had a question about my baby Sulcata named Nova. For now he is in a 30 Gallon Aquarium I know that is small but its temporary until April when I build him a large enclosure. The temps range from 75 - 110 in the aquarium as I have a basking spot and heat pad.
I spray one...
