Thanks for sharing Tom! My sully's diet consist of more leaves then grass- there are a lot of hibiscus trees and other leafy plants around my area. I bring him out to graze on grass only about once a week. Is this ok or should I be feeding him more grass? He's approaching a year old now.
Just had to share this.. Koopa got so carried away chomping he wasnt aware of his new leafy beard!
Anyone else have any hilarious photos of their sully with a messy face? :-)
Hi guys, my cousin picked up this poor lil fella wandering around on the streets and is caring for him now in her garden. We live in Malaysia. Anyone know what species it is and how to take care of it? So far it loves eating local water spinach and goes in for dips in the water tray occasionally...

Hibiscus flowers!! I stop by the side of the road to pluck giant ones sometimes for him and my sully would literally run as fast as his 4 stumpy legs would take him to the flower as soon as he sees it!!
Hi Tom, I bring him out to sun once in 2-3 days for about 20 minutes, he doesn't have a UV light in his tank, only a heat lamp. I've actually tried putting the cuttlebone in After his food and it seems to be working- he doesn't devour it down anymore. His main diet are leaves from various...
Hi guys, I have a baby sulcata and just changed his tank set up to soil after reading some advise on tort forum! Just wondering if I should keep the aquarium lid on or off? It's generally quite hot and humid here in Malaysia but Im keeping him indoors for now and we use air conditioning quite...
