New sully look!

[The captain]

I got a baby at a show today.
he was very active with all his bros and sisters.
now he is here and wont come out of his shell.
is this normal for them to be so shy? i am very worried.

he is cute though. he is on a 50/50 mix.

and just cause i am sooooo excited here is my new Brazilian rainbow boa.

please give your opinions, thanks

Sammy.

Your new tort is so cute. I can remember when mine was that small, they grow up so fast. Bowser was shy at first also, but eventually he got friendlier. Just take your time and that will help.

The snake is really pretty. I wish that I could get one

he'll eventually warm up to his new place and come out. make sure you have a basking area 85-95 f

 

[The captain]

ok maybe he is just really scared.
but he won't move at all!

im so nervous.
when i wake up tomorrow if he is still stagnant, should i place him in the basking spot?

sorry i sound like an idiot.

He's probably used to being housed with many siblings. Don't forget that baby tortoises are prey and are pretty scared when taken out of their comfort zone. Be sure he has a really safe-feeling habitat with lots of hiding places. Be sure he's warm enough. Try to let him be a tortoise for the first week or so, and don't handle him too much. Let him get used to his new digs for a bit, then you can let him see that you are the food god. He should warm up to you pretty fast when he makes that observation.

ok he is super active now!

he is roaming like a champ! lol

what was that site with the grass mix?

thanks sam

 

[The captain]

once more, what is the site with the hay mix?

 

[Yvonne G]

Sam: I don't know if you mean Carolina Pet Supply? That would be
carolinapetsupply.com/ Or if you mean Oxbow? That would be Oxbow.com/

Are those the sites you meant?

Yvonne

 

[The captain]

ok yeah,
it was Carolina
everybody was suggesting it to me a few months back when i was looking to get a sully.

thank you!

I'm happy to hear that your little one is active now!

I really want a snake, but my husband doesn't like them too much I guess I'll have to find some other critter to take care of
