    Sulcata Help - Is he okay?

    I will try the towels, thanks for that. Here's June. We had him out the other weekend when we had a random 80° day for some sun and exercise. I'll try to get a pic up. I don't have any that match the file format the site allows.

    Sulcata Help - Is he okay?

    We did have him in a house that my husband built that was heated with heat lamps. It had a deck and floor. We're remodeling it now to keep the heat in better. Also, working on a new source of heat since finding out heat lamps aren't acceptable for such a large tort. Looks like he's going to be...

    Sulcata Help - Is he okay?

    I have the room up to 85 right now and am going to keep bumping the heater up to get it a little warmer. The thermometer I am using is about 24" off the ground on the far side of the room. That's where it's reading 85 but I assume it's still not quite that warm on the floor. I will check temps...

    Sulcata Help - Is he okay?

    Adorable. Thank you. I have something similar to this. I just didn't think it would be acceptable during the early spring. It still gets cool here. I don't have a way to run water from my sink to my out doors but can use a bucket. Though, I'd be concerned the water would get cold quick. I can...

    Sulcata Help - Is he okay?

    Thank you. I live in Seaford, VA - which is southern coastal Virginia. The tortoise lives in my house, in my den - he used to live in a house outside and has always lived in house outside - he's 11 we think. The vet said to bring him inside so he literally lives in one room of my house that he...

    Sulcata Help - Is he okay?

    I posted a few weeks ago about how to bathe a large sulcata (though I was informed 40lbs isn't large) for the first time. I had taken my sulcata to the vet for what sounded like a stuffy nose and she said I needed to move him indoors, and bathe him everyday. She prescribed him an antibiotic for...

    Sick 11 y Tortoise - RI - Soaking?

    Hi all. I took my sulcata to the vet this week because I was worried she (turns out she's a he - pet store told us wrong) may have a cold. Vet does the exam, tells us she's a boy, and that she has a respiratory infection. Along with an antibiotic twice per day and moving him inside for a month...
