    Need a new home for my Sulcata (Orange County, CA)

    I'm looking for a new home for my 4 inch Sulcata. I've owned him for 3 months and everything has been good, but I'll be moving to LA after this summer for a new job and unfortunately won't be able to house him anymore. None of my family members can take care of him and some I don't trust they...

    At what size/age can I move my sulcata to an open enclosure?

    I currently have my 4 inch sulcata in a closed off chamber to contain 80+/80%+ degrees and humidity. With research on indoor enclosures, a majority of them are open enclosures. Do sulcata's need for heat and humidity decrease as they get older and bigger? Once my sulcata outgrows his current...

    Need help planning ahead with my Sulcata move

    It's been over 2 weeks with my new sulcata, about 3.5 inches. I currently have him in a temporary closed indoor chamber made of two of the same plastic tubs, 3 feet by 1 feet, 6 inches.

    Sulcata runs to the shade

    It's finally warm enough to take my 3.5 inch Sulcata outside (72F) and everytime I place him into the sun, he finds his way into the shade and stays there. I can imagine the shade being a lot cooler, but he seems to want that more than the warm sun. Is this normal?

    Sulcata barely touches his grass

    My 3.5 inch Sully rather eat his mixed greens (gallon bag I buy from reptile store): mustard greens, arugula, dandelion, and another green element also mallow from my backyard. He chews on the lawn clippings I give him but barely. Also the organic wheat grass I got him he barely touches it. He...

    How do I go about putting wheat grass in my indoor enclosure

    I want to purchase some grass for my Sully. Can I use stick the grass and soil it comes with into the substrate? How do I know if it doesn't have any bad chemicals in it? Would buying organic grass get the job done or do I have to buy separate organic soil. I am using coco coir for substrate...

    Need help identifying my backyard weeds!

    Here is the album that shows all the weeds in my backyard: https://imgur.com/a/30fqh#Cpgcu0Z. I believe #2 is dandelion, but I don't know the rest. Any of these are edible for my Sulcata? Thanks in advance!

    When is it too cold for Sulcata to get sunlight

    This past week I haven't had the chance to take my Sully out for some sunlight due to the gloomy weather. Currently it is 62 degrees right now with a bit of sun. Is this too cold or should I be fine leaving him outside with supervision for 20-30 minutes?

    Sulcata getting water in his nose during soak

    So early today I soaked my 4 inch Sulcata. He had so much coco coir on his head that I slowly poured warm water over his head to get it all off. He stretched his neck out and seemed to be soothed by it. But after he spent 3-5 minutes blowing water out of his nose. Should I avoid doing this?

    Is 85 degrees ambient too high?

    Yes, I have a Sulcata. 85 coolside during the day with basking lamp on. Goes down to 82-8 Sulcata, little under 4 inches.

    Is 85 degrees ambient too high?

    I purchased a 60 watt CHE bulb that wasn't getting my enclosure to 80 degrees. Now I exchanged it for a 100 watt CHE, and now my ambient on the cool side 85 degrees. Is this okay? At moment I don't have enough funds for a thermostat. Can I leave it at 85 degrees for now?
