    3 Year old Sulcata Needs new home

    I live in Northern California and I am so sad to say that I can no longer keep my amazing sulcata. He is 3 years old and I love him with all my heart.

    Please help. Questions about winter.

    He has been inside the last week and I think he's upset about it. He actually got to go outside today and he's much more active. I'm in Northern California. And he has 2 heat lamps in his inside habitat

    What cool/cute/amazing thing does YOUR tortoise do!?

    My year old sulcata Koopa climbs his house and slides down the other side. We got him a bigger house so now he climbs to the top and then turns around and slides back down. He has fallen a few times and scares me to death but he's pretty graceful most of the time. :)

    URI again?

    His warm side is typically like 85 to 90 and his cool side stays around 80. His basking spot stays about 100 and I have his night light right above his sleep spot so I try to keep him pretty warm at night. His new home is a little higher then his old so I'm planning on buying him some warmer...
