Hi I'm a new member from California. I am currently preparing my home for a new Sulcata Tortoise and would love input. I've done a lot of research online but would love first hand advice. Thank you.

I'd suggest going to the Sulcata section of this forum and read every post (twice). There is a ton of info in all the postings and all the care sheets and a lot you can learn. Then ask away!

Hi Janine, Welcome to the forum. How big is your sulcata? We would love to see a couple of pictures of it and your current enclosure. It helps everyone to give advice that is more specific to your situation.

We just picked the baby up today. She/he's been busy grazing in the yard most of the day.

I'm reading it now. I'm tech impaired so it took me a while to find it.

Hi and welcome! I have three sulcatas: one is 4 years old and was a rescue from AZ, the other two will be three years old in late October.
I suggest you check out all of Tom's threads on Sulcata care. He is one of the most experienced members here on the issue. Bit first, just let me say that your baby is beautiful. When she/he grazes outside, make sure you never take your eyes off him not even foe a second because they can run pretty quickly and you can lose them. Also, unless you have a secure outside enclosure, predator -proof, you shouldn't leave your baby not for a second. Big birds, dogs, cats, raccoons, possums, fire ants, etc can really hurt or kill your baby. So be cautious at all times. Also, babies need to be soaked everyday in warm water for 10-15 minutes. Sometimes, it may be necessary to soak her twice depending on the conditions. They need high humidity and temps no lower then 80 degrees, warmer in the basking spot. But, Tom's care sheets go all into that. So, read, read, and read on.
