    Considering rehoming gigantic sulcata

    Thanks Sarah- located in Los Angeles. Im looking for one of the land owner type folks. I have a very large yard that has cement walls on all sides - so hoping to find similar so he can do his daily laps!

    Considering rehoming gigantic sulcata

    Hey Vlad!! I know. It is soul crushing. My son is severely autistic and my mom is elderly and I am caregiver for both so it limits what types of places we can live. I have Tyler in my WILL. We are still trying but maybe there will be an amazing place where he would even be happier- who knows!!!

    Considering rehoming gigantic sulcata

    Hi there. My guy is 165lbs and very well socialized. He even comes running when you call his name. We have had some unfortunate circumstances and have to leave the home we are at. We have looked so far for 18 MONTHS for a new place that is sufficient for my big boy. But Los Angeles real estate...

    5 year old flawless female sulcata needs a home (SO CAL)

    It's a long story, but I have a female sulcata that was given to me. She is 5 and her shell is perfect. I did not realize what a crazed maniac my male would turn into and did not realize it was not very safe or peaceful for a female with a big male. She is awesome. Very cute, very curious and...

    15 yr old male and 5 yr old female together?

    Thank you so much. I agreed to take this female from a friend at my son's school- her autistic son has become deathly afraid of the tortoise and thats why they had to rehome. If you were adopting out a female- where would you go? The Tortoise Trust or one of the CA rescues? Thanks so much.

    15 yr old male and 5 yr old female together?

    Hi - I've had my male for 10 of his 15 years. He is 150lbs. I just took on a friends 5 yr old female and she is much smaller. What age/size does a female need to be to be safe around an adult male?

    Cloudy eye discharge

    Hi all. My guy keeps having cloudy white foam on his eye. Last time it happened I got drops that did not really work. I also learned how hard it is to get an eye drop into the eye of a reptile with eyes on the sides of his head. Does anyone else's sulcata get this? Going to the vet s tough...

    Beak troubles again

    Well NO WONDER why this keeps happening!! We have had his beak worked on once a year at the vet and the vet never mentions the bottom so now I can finally see WHY we are in this mess!! His bottom was always pointy so I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be that way!! THANK YOU!!!!

    Beak troubles again

    Hi all. My guy has a cracked beak and so he always has strange overgrowth. Now I am wondering- it the "hook" thing on the bottom what is causing this continue? Do yours all have the same size spike on the lower jaw? Can I file it down or is that normal size? Thanks

    How to figure out heat panel placement

    I think its 4ft ceiling. Will the heat panel work or is that too high? I feel like @Tom has his heat panels on the side but with a barrier so that they are not able to touch the torts. Im going to get out the temperature gun and try to configure. Right now I have his hanging low watt heat...
