Yea he's done it a handful times throughout the years and he in perfect health. Never had an issue with him. I can the pictures making people think it's okay as I seen pictures on here and thought if he walks through the snow for a few minutes what the worst that can happen. But I did watch him...

Also sorry to the OP for this thread going off topic but least you know this should not be allowed if you decide to own a sulcata where it snows.

I completely understand what you saying and I get it. I knew it wasn't right in a sense given the the weather and climate they are from but I also would feel bad locking him up if he wanted to take a walk whenever he felt like it. It's usually not long and he goes right back into his house that...

Ive seen others on here showing theirs in the snow. Didn't realize it was that harmful? I don't want to lock him up in the winter as he still comes out for a 15-20 walk and then goes back inside even when it's cold out. He's been doing this the last few years. Should I just not allow him outside...

Sulcata has always been my favorite tortoise species. I'm from PA too. Mine will be 9 years old this month. He's been living outside full time the last few years now. I actually don't think it's as hard as some say. I do have a fenced in yard so that is definitely something you'll need when they...

He looks great. Your doing an excellent job caring for him

I ordered cactus pads now over 2 weeks ago. They have not responded to 3 of my emails now and they usually used to email right back. I will be calling my credit company soon and getting my money back. They have horrible customer service and it seems to just be getting worse.

Any pictures of him?

I’m sorry. I had been following this thread the last few days hoping for best for your sulcata :(

201 grams on the scale yesterday. Here’s a picture from this morning

My SA Leopard tortoise will be a year old in April and his shell looks just like your 2 year old's in the pictures. He has minor pyramiding just on his top scutes like yours. Are leopards prone to pyramiding? I have raise him in humid conditions and followed all the instructions perfectly. I...

The highlighted quote angers me somewhat. Tom you did nothing wrong and even offered a replacement tortoise at half price. For the customer to say any of that I would not offer anything now that the 3rd party has decided in your favor. When I discovered this forum I spent days on here doing...

Any update? Hoping for the best for your tortoise

Congrats. Definitely a great feeling [emoji217]

At 3 years old they can stay outside all day. I still bring mine inside at night and have him sleep in a humid night box. He’ll be 4 in April

What is the size and weight? It's seems doubtful that it is an Ethiopian leopard. They are extremely rare. They can grow to sulcata like size and to my knowledge no one here in the US owns one.

Beautiful tortoises. Great video

Seen this on the news too [emoji35] I agree with the OP of what to do with the people that did this

181 grams up from 100 at the end of December. So far it’s been nothing but steady growth since I received him in June weighing only 30 grams.
