There's this local pet store here in Louisiana. I went a few weeks ago to get more coconut coir and in the back (idk if I was supposed to be on that section or not) was a tortoise. I knew it was a sulcata but I thought to ask the young store managers anyways. He indeed said it was a sulcata. I was also buying another hydrometer in which I asked the guy how accurate it was. I told him I had 2 baby sulcatas. He asked me what I needed that for. I said "well I want to make sure the humidity is kept high". He said no need just soak them. I then asked what the sulcatas name was and he said he didn't have a name. This baby was 4 years old, way bigger than my purse (which is huge btw) and in no more than a 55 gallon tank. I felt so bad for him. I tried talking to him and he didn't move at all. I'm so thankful for this forum. I appreciate all the advice. My babies wouldn't be as healthy and active without everyone on here. I have def found a new love for tortoises. Thank you all! Here's a pic of the poor thing. He didn't really even have room to turn around.
