Sorry to throw a wrench in the mix there Tom but actually yeah i was in the high desert. During their winter season they don't get quite a bit of rain in the area I was at so I'm not quite sure on the humidity though for the rest of the year. It was hanging around a watering hole when i found it...
There was another just shell i had found on this same property that was the same size if not larger. sorry i didn't take a picture of that one. I was about an hour outside of east london. something like six thousand acres i this particular area.
I was in south africa recently on a hunt and found this guy while returning to camp. Anyone have a clue what he is? He barely even cared that I was there went back to grazing right after I took the picture.
Thanks! as for the leo i live in colorado and theres a place known as scales and tails and they have some beyond awesome stuff. and as for comparing absolutely ive started to do that some. Just worried about the growth rates on the sulcata more then anything.
So today at the store where i bought my giant leopard and sulcata they had a massive two year old. I don't have the hatch dates for either of my torts but I've had the sulcata for a year and the giant leopard for two. To me they both seem extremely healthy but is there something I'm doing wrong...
So being the tortoise owner I am i thought I would be nice and buy two small boxwood shrubs to provide shade in my four acre enclosure. "There is other shade as well" Now i find out they are on the don't eat list…. What makes them actually bad for them?? Should I rip them out? When I first put...
Im going to do an outside house when the weather gets nice its already 30s at night and maybe mid fifties during the day here. And i honestly hope 80 pounds... haha i love the massive torts that ive seen!! so awesome!!
So him being a mix would that change how big he grows? Cause to be honest im not even sure how big he's suppose to get... The guy said around 80 pounds but seeing as he has been off thus far. haha. im glad i got him though he's currently running around my loft and hiding under pillows whenever...
Awesome thanks guys!! im just trying to figure out fact from fiction from what the guy at the store told me... And yeah im keeping him moist and warm like what tom said to do. The pyramiding wont go away correct but future growth will be smooth?
Yeah hes become quite sociable since just this morning!! he was out basking when i woke up and now is having a snack which is a yellow squash. At first i didnt cut it and it was quite funny watching him chase it around lol! but now i cut it in halves and he's enjoying it quite a bit.
Ive had him now for a few days and when i bought him i was told he or she idk was a giant. I have no idea on the age either im assuming a year... I can tell its been raised dry though ive read all 18 pages of toms thing on keeping them smooth lol. Any ideas would be awesome i have named it...
I do have a water bowl 24/7 sorry forgot to mention that. And yeah absolutely i plan on going back to the grocery store today and adding into the mix. As for night heat i have a 100w ceramic bulb and its around 75 degrees give or take depending on how close to the bulb the spot is. And yeah the...
I just purchased a giant leopard tort about two days ago. Awesome health and size on him. He is about a year old awesome color on his shell. But im curious about his behavior. in the morning when i kick on the lights he doesn't really get up.. So ive been feeding him by literally taking him out...
