We have three Sulcatas in our backyard. See Attached Photo - Russell 14-15, Macy 13-14 and Lindy 9-10. Macy lays eggs 2-3 times a year. We always thought Lindy was a female, but we were mistaken. She is a He based on the recent show he gave us.
I have heard that 2 Males in the presence of...
As requested, I posted under the forum "Enclosures" photos of the new Sulcata Barn that we are building. It is 10 x 6 and came together so far as planned today. Few more days and it will be ready for their move in. Check out the forum under Enclosures.
Hi Everyone. We are in the process of building a bigger enclosure for our 3 Sulcatas. We live in Southern Calif. and our Sulcatas are approximately 7, 11, and 12 years in age. They have been doing great in a Extra Large Igloo but they are getting a little cramped. We have designed a new...
How much Pumpkin should we give our Tortoises? I have heard from some of the chats that people freeze their pumpkin, and feed it as treats.
I cut up our Jack-o-lanterns and have them in the freezer. How much is too much and should it be fed sparingly?
I ahve posted it before, but here...
We found our 3 year old Sulcata chewing on a small rubber bouncy ball like you find in the coin machines. He chewed half of it. He appears to be eating some romaine ok. Anybody have any suggestions? I was going to feed him some and give him a good soaking. Any thoughts?
This is a topic that nobody wants to bring up, but everyone could have to face someday. Don't get me wrong, our three Sulcatas are healthy and happy, but you always think in the back of your mind, what will I do when the day comes when I have to dispose one of them.
Before Sulcatas, we...
We have found White Fly on some of the leaves on our Hibiscus Trees. Anybody know if White Fly is harmful to the Sulcata's if they eat a leaf covered with White Fly?

My wife noticed that our Male 6 Year old was on his toes, and that his liver or kidneys were hanging out. I have explained to her that what she saw was the penis. What he was doing is not sure, but the wife just can't beleive that what she saw was the penis.
Not trying to be gross or nasty...
My wife surprised me for my birthday and I got a Concrete Tortoise Statue for our front yard. It weighs about 450-500 Lbs, all solid concrete. We had to use a Engine hoist to lift it from the delivery pallot to the final place in the garden.
She got it at Al's Garden Art in El Monte, CA...
We had a 5.8 Earthquake in Los Angeles Area today, and we observed that our 3 Sulcata's didn't come out of their home until after the earthquake hit. They are usually out around 7:30-8 AM. Wife called me at 1100 and during our discussion she mentioned that she had not seen them out yet and...
Attached are pictures of our Tortoise enclosure that I promised many of you I would take.
We live in the Los Angeles area, so our climate is great!
The enclosure is about 4 years old. Originally we had California Desert Tortoises, but now we have moved on to the bigger...
A Friend of ours gave us 8 planted pots of the Succulent Crassula Baby Jade. I can't find this on any list to make sure it is OK. We have 3 African Sulcata Tortoises. Anyone know?? Or can you direct me where I can find it to be okay?
We have a 3-4 year old Sulcata, 6 year old Sulcata and roughly a 8-9 year old Sulcata. The 6 year old male is getting rammed by the 8-9 year old female. Is this something we need to be worried about? Unknown if the 3-4 year Sulcata is a male or female yet. If it is a male, we will part with...
I have three Sulcatas. 3 Years, 6 years and 8 years. Has anyone ever been successful in training Sulcatas? Growing up, we had a neighbor that had a Calif. Desert Tortoise that was trained to walk out the open yard gate when it was opened, and it would walk around the whole block in the...
Where does everybody come up with these names you have? We still have not figured out a good name for our three Sulcatas. Right now we have, Big Girl, Big Guy, and Lil Gal. We didn't like their original names before we adopted them.
Any Suggestions? Here is a picture of them. Large...
I have three Sulcatas. Anybody have a recommmendation on what Succulents are best for them to eat. (Which Succulents do 9 out of the 10 Sulcatas interviewed prefer?) I have room in my yard to plant some and want to have some that grow, and can be cut. I have kids too, so need something that...
I am having trouble keeping a temperature over 65 degrees in a Extra Large Tortoise (Dog) Igloo. I have a 5 year old Sulcata and a 7 year old Sulcate. I have a 500 Watt temperature Controller and a 150 W Heating Emitter, however it is still getting below 65 in the Igloo on the cooler nights...
