I forgot to post this during the summer. But this past summer my family and I went to the zoo. I have been at this one at least four times previously, so I paid particular attention to the tortoises' set ups. The two sulcatas they have (male and female) are in a somewhat small enclosure for their size, in my opinion. But they seed some what smoothed from what I have seem here. They had radiated tortoises... All of which I think had MBD. I didn't see any UV lighting, basking spots, and the water dish was one that was a quarter of their size and was raised, like for a lizard or gecko. I think there were three in the enclosure, oh and the enclosure was pathetic in size. One seemed very ecstatic, he actually would come to the glass to greet people (I got a picture with him :D) but the other was very inactive. The other was in between. I have attached some pictures.
