I have this stuff growing around my house. Looks like Spanish Bayonet, but it is not hard and sharp like the bayonet. It is incredibly resiliant and can grow quite large. I was wondering if it might be safe to plant along the outside of the sulcata pen for decoration. He wouldn't be able to...
I visited my parents' today and gathered quite a lot of clover and other weeds for the tortoises. My sulcata Tortellini and the new Russian Tortiana really enjoyed the treat!
I just got this tort from a coworker and would like to confirm ID as well as sex. She was told it was a Russian by the previous owner, and that it is 7 yo. She took it to a pet store and the owner told her it was a Golden Greek. I dont care either way. I just want to know which care sheet I...
I have a male sulcata of unknown age that weighs about 25 lbs. He has lived outdoors since we got him a few months ago. Soon (probably this weekend), I will be getting a 7 yo Golden Greek tort from a coworker. My intention is to have my husband build a tortoise table indoors this weekend for...
This flowering ground cover is all over the riverbank at my parents' house in northeast Florida. I don't know if it's native or not. ID?

My mom had a beautiful planter full of Hens and Chickens on her front patio. I have been looking forward to planting some offshoots in my yard for Tortellini. But something has eaten them all out of the planter!! I cannot imagine what it would have been. Would a squirrel do that?? We live...
This plant had big beautiful red flowers just a couple weeks ago that looked like hibiscus flowers. Obviously the leaves are very different than the plants in my yard. Anyone recognize it?

This vine grows all over the trees and fence in our yard. Tortellini does not have access, but it would be nice if I could feed him the leaves. Does anyone know what it is? I am in northeast FL if that helps.

Here are some pictures of my sulcata's pen. It's only been a few weeks, so of course it is a work in progress. His house is not complete. Still needs some paint. And I am working on getting it planted. He seems pretty happy in it though.

Hello, new friends. My name is Breezy and about 3 weeks ago, I was asked to take a 25 pound sulcata that was abandoned in the backyard of a vacant house. Being a reptile/amphibian/chelonian lover, I agreed, and so we now have Tortellini. Under my instruction, my husband built him a lovely...
We have had our 25 pound sulcata, Tortellini, for about 3 weeks now. He eats and poops well! I have been doing my research about diet, enclosures, etc, but have one question I have not come across the answer to. Can sulcatas eat hops leaves? You know, hops that you make beer out of? My...
