Here's a couple ornaments that I've made over the past week! I love how they're turning out. I've had a bunch of requests so next will be a Russian and a Leopard. Also have a Snapping turtle in the works. What should I make next?

Hi everyone! I've noticed that my sulcata, Dwight, has some really jagged growth lines. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to help correct this. Background: 5 years old, Sulcata, lives outside full time. He sleeps in a dog house with a hound heater; no lights, no heatpads. Bedding is...

Hey guys! Baby sulcata ornaments are available in my Etsy shop for those interested! www.etsy.com/shop/splittonguedesigns

So the last couple of years, I've been making snake ornaments and selling them in my etsy shop. Last night, I attempted a tortoise!! I have some better ideas for the next one, but otherwise I thought he was pretty cute!! Here he is! Just wanted to share! :)

I have a 3 year old sulcata that's always mad! You look at him and he will go into his shell and hiss. You walk by and he hisses. You touch him and he hisses. Anyone else have a tortoise like this? How can I help him? Lol He is around people all the time, he's just always grumpy.

I just recently discovered (by camera) that there has been a crane that stops by and snacks on the koi in my pond. I have had several fish and Red Eared sliders go missing, but today I actually caught him in the act. I apologize if this question is dumb, but would my sulcata potentially be a...

Quick question. My sulcata always seems to have (what looks like) dry skin over his eyes. It doesn't seem to go away if I soak him. Maybe it's his coloring? He doesn't really like to be touched so I can't really tell you what it feels like. Doesn't get worst or better. Just wanted to see if...

Alrighttttt, it's been a longggg time since I have posted. My sulcata, Dwight, is now just over 3 years old and approximately 10/11 pounds. I made him a little dog house to live in and he loves it. His dog house is in one of the back rooms of my house and he has a door to the backyard. He...

So these guys (or girls?) were born in December 2011. I think it is still too early to tell but everyone is welcome to take a guess! Thanks. PS - They spend all day outside so they're never in a presentable fashion :( please excuse their mess! Dwight on the left - 8.5" Mose on the right - 7"

I'm looking to buy a mix of weed seeds online (for sulcatas). I cant seem to find anything. I would prefer if the mix had no grasses... and no grazing mixes. Just weeds and flowers. Thanks :)

So I recently discovered today that there is a Sulcata Research Project around where I live and I wanted to share with you guys some of the information they've figured out... Feel free to debate, comment, etc. DIET -They believe there is no reason to be feeding grocery bought food. period...

I have two sulcatas that are almost a year old. They spend all day outside in their outdoor enclosure from 8am until 9pm. If the enclosure is 100% secure, would you say it's safe to leave them outside at night? I have dogs so there's little chanceo of raccoons or other animals getting them. They...

So this guy is my boyfriends moms sisters who just moved into a retirement home. He was born in June of 1986. He has paperwork and a license! Crazy! According to his papers, he is of Gopherus species. Does anyone else have a tort like him?

Dwight and Mose were born in December. I bought them in February of 2012. Since then, I've been taking their weights every couple of days or so since I bought them. So here is a graph of their growth over the last 6 months and a couple pics. Mose is king of the hide! Chow time...

Dwight and Mose loveee their kiddie pool enclosure! As you can see, it's not 100% done but it does have a small pool, as well as some buried hides that are really nice and cool inside. I have a couple trays of Sulcata Grass that just sprouted that will be placed in there for them to munch on...

My names Shell and I adopted two baby sulcatas in February, Dwight and Mose! (born in Dec) They are the most entertaining and unique little guys, with the cutest personalities! I have always loved reptiles so Dwight and Mose have lots of friends: 12 year old Iguana - Quila 12 year old Beardie...
