Thank you, when Opo was smaller he enjoyed is pool. Now he wants nothing to do with it. You have put me at ease.
I regularly see my sulcatas and adult leopards drinking. They sulcata tubs hold about five gallons. They drain about 1/3 to 1/2 in one drink. I try to take pics when I catch them in the act.

That's crazy! Maybe rearrange things and put a different substrate down. You should make a thread and get some ideas.Dear Ray,
I kind of have the same problem.
Mine used to like long soaks now she doesn’t even want a bath.
But mostly she hates her night box (shed)
She scratches all night and now the neighbors are saying they’re gonna call an exterminator to get rid of whatever is making that noise. She loved that she’d for the longest time but now in the last three weeks she is acting like it’s on fire and she is locked inside?? I can’t figure it out ?
Any ideas?
How could she go from loving something for YEARS to hating it in one night?
I have cleaned it completely...
I have kicked up the temps a bit...85-90s
And NOTHING is working.
When I open the doors she comes RUNNING out?
Never did that before. ?
It’s a great shed too. I don’t want to get rid of it...?
Hey Ray...Just to show you, this is from abt a 40+ Sulcata who does drink, and does soak in the mud hole, but he still has urates, pasty, creamy urates. Gritty is not a good sign

Have you checked carefully for ants or other insects coming in at night?
Or is there any chance mice are getting in at night?
Something has happened to make her so upset. A camera might pick up on what's wrong.
What kind of heat are you using in the shed? Can she get out of the heat if she chooses?
I'm just thinking out loud here....thoughts that pop in to my head...

Noooooo problem! I am glad other members are seeing your posts. I only suggested a new thread to get more eyes on it.That’s a good idea.
Sorry for stealing your thread.
AMD yep... I have had my sully drop some urates the size of Maggie’s tort too! They are pretty impressive. But I have changed so many things listening to Tom that now she is doing great poops AMD I always get impressed. Some times urates will be present but now they are like a watery slimy kinda mix.
You have nothing to worry about your tort is doing great!
Now......winter.. ???

Don't know if you have a infrared temp gun, but maybe your thermostat and humidastat are not working properly.That’s a good idea.
