    Hello from a very grateful newbie!!

    Thank you very much! I do have one question at the moment. With the bad info I had an improper table. Too dry, no uvb, bad substrate and uncovered. I know have him maintaining in a sealed tub until I can finish his real spot. My question is does it matter how many sides of their enclosure are...

    Hello from a very grateful newbie!!

    Thank you! I didn't like being set up for failure right out of the gate with all the old info out there but as soon as I saw (he) wasn't quite acting right I started looking for more info and thankfully found this forum. That was a couple of days ago and I haven't been able to stop reading. Just...

    Hello from a very grateful newbie!!

    Hey everyone, my name is Adam and I live in the interior of Alaska. I recently acquired a baby sulcata and instantly fell in love! Unfortunately I got sucked in to the "old methods" in my planning so it's been a rough go but my little buddy seems to be doing ok now!

    Ok, I didn't think that was going to be a benieficial option for my situation but wanted to ask to be certain.

    Ok that works. He always has food in there for him because I've been very paranoid about his health. I put in at least 4 piles his size a day and he eats I'd say a little more than half of that.

    well he certainly seems to be but then again I've been wrong about a lot so far. I've read through the food care sheet and many threads on the topic but none really give an average amount he should be taking in. He grazes 4-5 times a day on what I leave out for him. Doesn't turn his nose up at...

    I've seen a lot of talk on here about carrot/squash baby food soaks when sick. Is this something I should be doing until he seems better?

    Should I run it a little warmer for him until it clears up? Also is there anything I can do to supplement the lack of uv until I can get it?

    Newbie owner worried!!

    His eyes seem perfectly fine and he has them open a lot. No fluid actually running from his nose just a bubble every now and again. He's been eating great for 3 days now and his energy has really improved. To the point of climbing on top of a round wood hide. In fear of him sliding on his back...

    I will try and get some good pictures but my camera isn't the best. Currently I have a zoomed digital that stays at the cool end and I also have a infrared thermometer gun.

    I was recently gifted a sulcata hatchling from backwater reptiles and unfortunately found all the bad info on care. I was initially set up with a open enclosure, no advice on humidity and no mention of needing extra UV. I instantly fell in love with my little guy and am very concerned for him...
