sulcata

I have a male Russian box and a female Sulcata (we think) that needs rehoming. They were both rescues given to me at different times a few years ago, and I haven't been able to give them the care and dedication they deserve. The Russian is at least 8 or 9 years old; the Sulcata might be less...

So I've had my baby for almost three years now and all was well, her shell was perfectly healthy up until she got to big for her terrarium. At that point I got rid of the terrarium and set up a location where her heat lamp and uv lamp were set up for her to use as she pleases but I'd say a...

10 months old. This kid enjoys all the weeds.

So I got 2 sulcata babies, poki and poro, live together on 1 enclosure (70x50cm). I managed to get around 80 % humidity and 33° C temp on cool side and around 45° C on basking zone, I try to get lower humidity now since poki always get runny nose almost every month. I'm so confused on why only...

Was taken a month ago

Below are some pictures of the enclosure I've been setting up for his (Cronan) long awaited arrival. Substrate is about 70/30 topsoil and cypress mulch with the mulch layered on top. Can't wait for his arrival this upcoming week, are there any last minute things I should pick up to make his...

Hello! We operate a 13 acre nonprofit farm sanctuary in the North Carolina foothills and are interested in finding an adoptable sulcata tortoise to join our motley crew.

Hi everyone! I have raised my 6-year-old male Sulcata since he was a hatchling, but life circumstances are now making it untenable for me to keep him. He is about 14 inches long, 9 inches wide, and weighs probably only about 8 pounds. He is in great health, raised on a grass and hay diet mostly...

Always hungry. 9 months old 757g

Caught this little guy feeding the Tort. The other pic is the first day I got her. He is 7 and she is about 7

He still won't let me pet him, but I still love him. LoL

HI everyone. Django is an 8-year-old male Sulcata that I adopted as a surrender from a reptile rescue 2 years ago. So far, he has tripled in size and although his shell still shows the early pyramiding that he had when he first came home, his shell growth since then is flat. The past week, he...

This is the first time I have seen noticeable, what looks to be like, blood on my tortoise’s poop. My tortoise is about 8-9 years old and has been doing fine recently, he has been acting normal and I think pretty healthy. It has only been today that I saw his poop about 40 minutes ago from...

I have recently adopted 2 sulcata tortoise 1 which I think has a small amount of pyramiding and another that has a lot.I do not know the age of the sulcatas but I have had them for 2 months and have followed toms guide. But they seem to have gotten these recently. I keep their humidity high and...

Soaking time.

Hi all! Thank you for all the help this community has provided for me the past few years, it is unfortunate that this is my first post. I have a 4 year old female Sulcata that woke up this morning with two red spots: one on the skin around her eye and one on her ear. I’m attaching a picture. I...

Now we’ve had sulcatas for years but one of our 4 1/2 year olds was eating just fine one day then stopped the next we weren’t to worried about it at first but then it turned into a whole week! So we started looking him over and offering treats hoping that he was just getting tired of Romain...

Nope we are not going inside. You can’t even see me.

We have had our Sulcata just over a year. It initially had RI shortly after we acquired him. We treated him with antibiotics and I believe they gave him a shot...calcium? I'm not sure. Well, he stayed sick on and off for months. His skin peeled it was scary. I syringe fed him for a while...
