No other symptoms, eating, behaving, and pooping like normal. Just turned 2 and I wanna say 7 pounds maybe 8. Have not been flashed in a soak yet.

Hi so my 2 year old sulcata tortoise was sleeping and I noticed some clear, jelly like substance, almost like discharge? leaking out of where he normally pees/poops. I’ve never seen this so I was wondering if anyone knows what it is and if it’s normal.

Hi I have a 3 month old sulcata and I noticed a small dent in the back of his shell that wasn’t there before. I was wondering if it’s normal and will even out as he grows or if it’s a sign of anything. It’s a little hard to see in the pics but u can definitely feel it and see it if u look...

my humidity tends to drop in the night to around 75% due to my CHE (which is 100w but that’s the only wattage that’ll keep my baby Sulcatas temps right.) The substrate is pretty damp though but my thermometer says only 75% humidity. My baby Sulcata also likes to burrow in the damp substrate. So...

I tried to pick it off with tweezers but it won’t come off. it’s hard and looks to be apart of his beak.

My one month old Sulcata has had this small pimple looking bump on his beak ever since I got him. I’m not sure what it is or if it’s normal and if it goes away on its own. What should I do?

He’s a one month old African Sulcata. He’s 60 grams and about 2 inches. He’s kept in an 40in by 30 in indoor enclosure with 85F+ temps (basking spot of 95 - 100F) and 80%+ humidity at all times. I use coco fiber and repti bark for substrate. I soak once a day 20-30 minutes. I let him out for an...

I was soaking my tortoise and noticed he peed or pooped out these small little yellow flakes. He’s done it before. I’m not sure what they are and if they’re normal, does anyone know?

Thank you so much for clearing it up! I had saw some people saying that you could overfeed them and that fast growth would be a problem, but I also saw others saying the opposite, that you can’t overfeed them and there’s no specific growth rate that’s too fast. So I wasn’t sure which was true.

I have a one month old African Sulcata and I’m concerned it’s growing too fast. I got him about a week ago and he was about 2 inches and 44 grams. A week later he was already 60 grams but still around 2 inches. Is this growth rate too fast? If it is, what can I do to slow it down? He’s...

I bought these at Home Depot and was wondering if any of these are safe to put into my Sulcata’s terrarium? Idk if my tortoise would eat them, but in case they do would it be harmless?
