We arent bad here in Tulsa. The hottest part of the summer seems to be over but I keep a watchful eye out and keep a cool towel over his hide during the day. I am always scared its to hot outside for him though. I kept him in this morning and he was not happy about it but we had a bit of rain...

I looked up this topic because I was worried about my Scout. I clicked on this link and the picture loaded and I let out a huge laugh. Scout sleeps just like that and I swear it scares the crap out of me every time. I am so glad to see that its normal. Sully is super cute !!

That's super helpful thank you!! I am going to try and find something long i can transform like this person did and possibly move the tort box outside for his outside time.

Should I keep him in the aquarium inside and use the Tort Box for an outside play space for now? I really thought he would need more space inside so I switched them but I could move them back. I dont have anything to build with so I am limited on what I can create for the little dude. I am going...

His top is covered and I am not having many issues with humidity because I keep a humidifier in my room. I know it says no tort box but he was in a pretty small aquarium so I think this is an improvement either way. His top is covered and Im not having many issues with humility right now. I...

I am wanting to add a few small potted plants into my baby Sulcata's habitat what kinds should i avoid and what kinds would benefit Scout? I want to make sure he's getting enough stimulus while I'm at work. MK

Yeah, every time I ask a question people send me those link and I have read all of those a few times over. I also obviously mean as of right now he wont be able to go outside in the winter. When he's bigger we plan to convert the garage into his own home with his own heating and all. His...

Hello!! I recently got a Tort Box and I put my 9 week old Sulcata Scout in it. I am wondering if the hide needs a heating lamp over it or if I should just keep his UVB and heat lamp on his "open area" I do have an extra heating lamp and I am worried about his temp at night in the house. We...

Also, to anyone in the thread, where do you get your Orchid Bark?

did you change your bedding? curious how its working out for you. MK

Thank you sooo much!! The first link I have seen the second was really helpful! I am using the Mazuri pellets (I cannot remember the name but they are popular with some here. They are expensive but for now we have quite a few that were given to me by my mother. I give one to Scout, smashed up...

New Yup, I have that printed out but it doesn't mention anything about the frequency of feeding things like pellets and calcium. I am working on a weekly diet chart to keep things clear to my household when and what to feed Scout. Thank you. MK

I am new and have a baby Sulcata. I am wondering how often I should give him pellets and if his diet each morning should have Greens + Pellet (Smashed right now) and some ground (finely) egg shells? I have heard off of these are important to give your tort but I dont know what frequency I need...

I love this! I see so many different predictions on growth I am kind of nervous. I am taking notes as to how I should document Scouts growth. Thank you!

How ground up should they be? Should I be sprinkling this on his greens? Also is there an age you should start adding calcium? My new baby is about 6-8 weeks old. Thank you MK
