FOUND TORT! In the Glendale AZ area near N 49th Ln and W Onyx Ave. I believe it’s a Sulcata (correct me if I’m wrong please)? I already have a Leopard Tortoise and am unsure if I can keep them together but will keep till I find the owner or figure out another enclosure for said baby. Not very...

Hello! I have 2 beautiful and healthy sulcata tortoises that I’ve acquired from Phx AZ. 2 years old. I’m moving to Charleston, SC next month and hope it’s ok to take them with me! Is this ok? I want the best for them and hope that they will be ok to make the transition with me. Any words of...

Hi all! I found this forum about a month ago when I was researching into tortoise care and I've already learned a ton and love the community here. We just bought a house with a large backyard (large for Mesa, Arizona) and want to get a backyard tortoise. We are going to apply to adopt a Desert...

Sometime in the next few months, I will be moving to Phoenix from Dallas. I have a 7-year-old Sulcata - she's maybe 40 pounds? I need lots of advice and help. 1) What is the best way to move her? I am not planning to make the drive, but I will if that is what is best for her. 2) Arizona...

Hi everybody. So glad I found this forum. Thankyou for having me. I grew up in beautiful Long island, New York. Back when only twenty years ago the eastern box turtles were seemingly plentiful and you could encounter them all the time. Back then I was really into nature and animals, and I took...

Beloved 16-ish male (we were told) red-foot tortoise needs re-homing due to an overseas move to New Zealand, which does not accept reptiles. Looking for an excellent owner between the Tucson, AZ area and anywhere up the CA coast to the San Francisco area. Will deliver July-August. Must be...

My western box turtle has these weird slits on the sides of her mouth, and when she eats they seem to bleed a little. i see no signs of mouth rot and just looked inside her mouth less than a half hour ago, but its definitely frightening. it got better with some peroxideneosporin but every time i...

Hello, I am new around here, and I wanted to introduce myself. I have a small colony of Geochelone Elegans, and I enjoy having them, they make me happy watching them eat and move around and stuff. It is like the wind down part of my day. Feeding them by hand is the best for sure. I am...

About 6 months ago i rescued a sulcata.... well up until last night, i thought it was a desert tortoise (im clearly not knowledgeable on the subject even though i tried my best) and i have no means of creating the proper environment for this poor little guy. i sadly sunk any money i had into...
