Ok,
Im confused...So the Larger tort (dirty muddy picture) is the female?? Thats the one on top in the other pics....Shouldn't this scenario be reversed?
And what the heck is that organ that the large one..(which I assumed was a male) drags around and is so proud of.... Then it retracts for...
Hello Everyone...
Got a quick question (mainly a concern) I have 2 Sullys.. One is 20+ pounds, and the smaller one is about 8-10 pounds.. OK, so I know the larger one is a male..How do I know?, Well he like to show me and every one else his ummm...well you know!!!! The smaller one I assumed was...
Yeah, I think the flowers are fine, but on some of the tree leaves I notice a sap like substance, and Im wondering if a leaf found its way in the pen, if thats safe to eat.

Hello,
Does anyone know if its safe for Sulcata's to eat the flowers that drop off Crape Myrtle tree's?....I cant find any info on these trees on tortoise websites..
Thanks

Hello,
I should probably clarify my post. When I said we had been down the RI road before, I meant my 2 sullys have had it 1 time each.
The larger male, I rescued from a 10 gallon tank in a pet store. He was sick when I got him. The smaller one "Rocky" had this once before when our power went...
Hey Guys,
My small sully looks like he possibly may have a slight RI....Not sure yet, Im going to bump the heat up and watch him for a few days. I have just noticed a bubble or 2 coming out of the left nostril...No weezing or noise just a bubble..He is still eating like a horse and acting...
Hello,
This just started happening a few months ago..They seem fine when they are outdoors grazing during the warm months...But lately, They just cant get along. I think your right Maggie, they need to be apart!
Hey Everyone,
Ok, My 6 year old and my 3 year old Sulcata's don't seem to get along anymore. Well, The big one (PEEK A BOO) is 12 pounds and doesn't bother anyone. He is a male. The smaller one (ROCKY) Is all of a sudden being a bully to the larger one. He(or she) is about 3 pounds. Im having...
Hey Everyone,
On Friday I fed My Sulcatas some Mazuri Tortoise Chow. I dont usually feed them mazuri, But I do from time to time.. ( I keep a bag on hand for when I run out of Orchard grass and Timothy Hay).. So they have had it before.
Yesterday afternoon I noticed that there were three...
Wow!!!! Well, the Sulcata we thought was a girl (pictures, comparisons, a little research....) that led us to believe our 5 year old rescue was a girl .......were wrong.. Yes I was doing a routine pen inspection when HE reared up and stretched out his legs....and just let it all hang out for the...
Hello,
Im assuming your refering to the larger Sulcata in the photo's (Peek A Boo)
Yes, she does have some minor pyramiding. She was a rescue we took in last summer. Well, we call her a rescue because she was in a 10 gallon tank in a pet store. I have Sea Sponges attatched to the upper inside...
Hey,
Yeah it holds the heat very well. Its so big that I decided to heat the room for the gradiant heat. Since Electricity is cheaper than gas in the winter, I havent seen that much of an impact on my bill yet. The table is very easy to biuld. if you followed that link from an earlier post, you...
Hello,
Ok, here are the pics... Sorry for the delay, had some trouble with my camera. The table is 8ft. long by 3ft. wide. As you can see from the pics I have a separator in the middle. I have this because "PEEK A BOO" is about 5lbs bigger than "ROCKY". The Substrate is a 50/50 mix of...
Hello,
I just built a 8' x 3' tortoise table. it was easy, and only cost about $50 for the material. Follow this link for the plans. http://www.russiantortoise.org/tortoise_table.htm I have 2 Sulcatas that needed a bigger home for the winter. This works great! Im going to post pictures this week.
