Ok guys, I posted this many months ago, and tried trimming. He is also living outside more now, so I hoped more natural feeding would help. I don't see a lot of improvement. I don't really have a good vet here in Richmond, VA, and I don't want to spend a ton of $$ on someone who doesn't know...
Hi all!
I have a sulcata that is about 3.5 years old now. She is doing well, eating and growing, and has a great personality. For about the last year, I've noticed she has an underbite. I searched online for a long time, and the general consensus I found was that as long as she was...
Did you seal the floor somehow, or is the mulch directly on it? I have recently adopted a large sulcata and am still perfecting his indoor habitat.
I'm also in Richmond! Hello neighbor!
Thanks for the input guys....I will just save up for a Kane mat. I've kept reptiles for years, and actually SEEN a cheapo zoo-med heat pad short out and catch fire. Could have been a LOT worse if I didn't happen to be there when it happened.

I found this one, and it's a good deal cheaper than the Kane pads.....any thoughts?

I feel bad for him. On top of everything else he went through, his shell is somewhat deformed, and he is showing what MIGHT be signs of MBD. I don't know what, if any UVB he got....and the very "top" scute on his back has some suspicious spots that look like they might peel off. I suspect he...
So I got this guy last week. He is about 18" long and maybe 20 pounds? He was being housed in a garage in a 2' x 4' tub, with only a lamp for heat. The old owner told me that once or twice a week he would feed him a head of romaine lettuce and some mazuri.
Since getting him, I've soaked...
Well day one is going well. I'm in the middle of setting up an enclosure in the reptiles room. In the mean time, he had a stroll in the yard this morning where he ate a bite of mazuri and a couple bites of pumpkin. After that he went in the tub for a soak, and drank for what seemed like...
