Despite my efforts my EBT hatchling has buried herself and not surfaced for a few days. Her tank is warm, it ranges from 70-80F depending on the time of day. I do not use a heat lamp on her tank, just a UVB strip for 4 hours a day. The room she is kept in gets very warm when we turn the heat on...

Someone enjoyed their first cactus pear! There's nothing better than a sully when it comes to food! They don't shy away! Hehe

I am trying to find homes for two large male sulcatas. Their names are Sponge bob and Patrick. One is roughly 90lbs and the other 100lbs. The owner has had them since hatchlings for the past 13years and he can no longer keep up with their care. They can be separated, in fact it will probably be...

With all the tortoises around here and the rescues we have to watch our pennies so we make due with what we have, but soaking has become an ordeal. Haha I'm running out of containers! I like to get them all done at once so I'm not running back and fourth. Luckily most of my guys are small so I...

Went to the Hamburg, Pa reptile show a couple weekends ago in search of a baby leopard tortoise. There wasn't many and a lot of the sellers wanted big bucks for them but luckily my dad is friends with most of them so he got a good deal and surprised me this cutie! Then I saw how cute the...

So after rehoming the sulcata and my family being upset. I'm now looking into getting a new tortoise or two. I would love a species that eventually got large, but now sulcata large, so I was thinking a leopard would be a good choice. Plus they're beautiful. I also like the idea that they can be...

I have a large male sulcata I'm looking to rehome. I live in Delaware county pa about 20 minutes from Philadelphia.

Someone dropped off a 60lb sulcata to me today. I'm not prepared. At all! In fact I'm scared! That's a lot of tortoise. I had a young sulcata at one point that was stolen from our outside pen. It's still kind of warm here in Pa so he will have to go outside for now until I can think of something...
