Shelly is our new sulcata tortoise. It was purchased from a breeder in Waxahachie, Tx. He also seems to rescue torts as well. His adults were real beaut's, perfectly smooth shells.
Right now shelly is hanging out in a sterilite tub with moist top soil and hay. Only one hide so far, but more coming. Feeding the same thing that the ig eats at the moment (walmart didn't have spring mix, will try HEB tomorrow), which is a mix of collards, acorn squash, green beans, parsnips and mango. so far we haven't seen it eat. Will start soaking in baby food tomorrow. Also has a water dish, uvb bulb and a basking light.
I will post pics when I get some.
