Here's an update on Charley. The vet said until I bring him in on Friday evening to continue to soak him twice a day. Dry him real well and rub antibiotic ointment on him. I have been using a low strength triple antibiotic ointment and a qtip on the outside of the jaw and cheek. He seems to...

Thank you. It is a red light. I do have the title covered 3/4 of the way. It was removed for the picture. I actually cut the lid across so the light fills one side! I will look into getting another light! Thank you

This is Charley and he has a slightly green mouth from grazing today. But I haven't noticed before but to Me his right side looks fatter than the left. Does anyone one else have uneven faces on their tortoise?

I have a enclosure that has a very shallow plate to hold water. His hide is a large candle holder laid on its side. The candle holder has holes about an inch by an inch wide. I have orchid moss inside the hide that I keep moist and also keep a moist towel draped over the pot ( the crazy design)...

As of March 2016, I am the new mother of a young Sulcata tortoise! We named s/he Charley. Trying to be gender neutral. I am interested in learning how to raise my baby the right way! Just thought I would stop in and share Charley with everyone!
