sulcata

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...

Wine wooden box turns out to be a perfect hide out box. Provides cool spot with nice humidity. Sulcata approved.

Hello everyone! Thanks for all the feed back from my last post. After finding out I was doing a lot of things wrong I spent all day yesterday researching, watching YouTube videos, and reading threads on this forum. I now know I definitely need to upgrade Edison’s enclosure and soon. My dad...

Hi everybody! My names Lauren and I recently rescued a Sulcata Tortoise from being abandoned by a lake (his names Edison, eddy for short) The previous owner had him for a little over a year but didn’t want to take care of it anymore. I’ve never owned any kind of reptile before so this is a whole...

8 months growth on Herbie. August 20th,2020 and April 15th,2021

Do you guys think my tort is starting to pyramid? I soak everyday minimum of 30 minutes under the sun, humidity is kept at 85-90%, diet consist mainly of grass except on the weekend when we give mauri, malburry and romaine lettuce. The raised part seems to be only on the top of the shell as the...

I found this in my lawn not sure what it is but want to know if it's safe to feed my sulcata
