Hello! We are getting a handyman next week to finally build our greenhouse and I wanted to run the design by you all so I know if there's anything I should change. The basics: we live near Chicago and our Sulcata is about 2 years old, 10.5 lbs. He's currently kept indoors. The greenhouse...

Haven’t been on here in a while but our guy doesn’t seem interested in food and I’m getting concerned. He’s about 1400grams and normally runs to his food and eats like a pig. The past three days he’s completely disinterested. He gets baths 3-4x a week and his enclosure never drops below 75 on...

I had a custom enclosure built and it's being delivered tomorrow! It's 6ft x 3ft and 2ft deep and high. My husband has been telling me for months that he'll build me one and I got sick of waiting so I hired a friend [emoji4] for a sulcata 525grams and 1yr old. Wanted to go bigger but don't...

I'm hoping to make a large water dish/wading area in the custom table I'm having built. It'll be L shaped and I was thinking about having the dish take up the corner and be roughly 12x24. What's the best way to make this? Craft store clay? Cement? Some type of sealant too im sure. No idea...

Long story short we are going out of town for a week over Christmas and I want to make it as easy as possible for our pet sitter to care for our hatchling. I worry mostly that he might turn off the MVB and forget to turn on the CHE at night, or think he did and not realize because there's no...

Our little guy arrived this morning and seems to be adjusting well. Had a soak in the morning and a quick one tonight, plus a few minutes in the sun to graze. He had a decent appetite right away but no interest at all in Mazuri! We are keeping the name Gamera from our previous hatchling, who...

Please help this guy if you can. I am not able but he's squeezed in that tiny tank and clearly is in need of better care. https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/for/5858421388.html

Can I see some greenhouse setups? We live near Chicago, and while it won't be an issue for a few years with our sully being so tiny, we have an opportunity to buy a nice greenhouse from a family friend. (I don't have the specs yet, but it's a walk-in). I've never had one, so I was curious on how...

My six year old just yelled up the stairs "mommy, I think we have a problem! Our hatchling is waking up!" Referencing his three month old brother. Can you tell we've been talking tortoises in this house? He loves looking through the show me your sulcata/rf/etc posts, keep them coming!

This morning i noticed Gamera was twitching his front arms, or possibly his body was moving slightly as it was in sync. The only thing I can relate it to is hiccups, although I'm aware it isn't actually hiccups. It was happening every 30 seconds or so while sitting still, went away when walking...

Our little guy is five months old and I just measured him at 2 1/4in. Is that a fairly normal size for that age? We've only had him a month now and he seems perfectly active and healthy. He eats plenty and loves his water bowls. I'll try to weigh him soon (moving into a new house and everything...

I've been reading on here for a while but figured it was about time to join (even though I don't have any questions that I haven't found answers to already!). We got a four month old baby sully last month and he seems to be thriving! I read the beginner mistakes and sulcata care sheets before...
