Hello, I've been an intense lurker and reader for the last month and have been trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can, since this has seemed like the best resource. Some quick background on Tannie the Tort: He’s a juvenile sulcata we took in from some close friends over the summer. I...

Hello all. I noticed skin lesions on Sunny, my baby sulcata, which after reading through the forum I am now concerned may be another case of Austwickia chelonae. Background-- I noticed the bumps on October 13th. First two pics were taken Oct 14th which is when I first took him to my reptile vet...

Hi everyone, I have a mature sulcata tortoise (not sure of his exact age) and this summer he’s been obsessively trying to find thing to hump. He did start becoming more sexually active last summer but much more so this year…. He’s actually flipped himself over a couple times trying to get on...

My sulcata has this sticking out of his tail and it’s been coming out basically everyday. I thought it was his testicles but couldn’t find any pictures on google that helped me clarify that. Google is filled with pictures of tortoise penis’ but not of their testicles? lol. I don’t really know...

A month or so back I bought a hibiscus plant for my sulcata, Hades, and it was doing well for a while. He loves both the leaves and flowers, I think its one of his favorite foods I've given him. But, recently the buds or blooms that havent even opened yet have been falling off. I looked at one...
