Thanks for the info Tom, though not really what I want to hear [emoji45]. Hopefully this little one will pull through. My 4 kids are really attached to him. I have been reading a lot of your posts since we got our little one. I guess I was hoping the lady we got him from maybe had the age...

Can anyone tell me roughly how much my sulcata should gain in a month? We have had our little one a bit over a month so we are very new to this. We were told he was 3-6 months old when we got him from someone who couldn't take care of him any more. Anyways, we really don't know much about his...

I've been using a spray bottle several times a day to keep the humidity up as well as daily soaks.

We are finally getting our temps and humidity up there. Thank goodness our little Meeps (lol that's what my kids decided to name our tortoise) is a tough one! The 93 degree is back and not directly under the heat lamp so I'm sure it's close to the 100 mark right under.

Sorry if this sounds really stupid, but how do put the lights in w/o having any holes?

Oh and substrate is cypress mulch and sphagnum moss

@Bambam1989 and @Cheryl Hills he seems to be a little interested in the mustard greens I got to try as well as the kale. I have attached a picture of my thermometer / hydrometer and the bulbs I am using. I can not seem to be able to get the heat and humidity to go up?

He (lol I'm just going to call it a him) has nibbled a tiny bit here and there, but didn't eat anything the last 2 days. Nothing like what I feel from what I've read here that he should be eating. The temp were around 90 under the light and mid 70's-80 on the cool side. I am having a hard...

The lady I got it from said they were feeding it greens and that it loved apples. That's pretty much it. But she also told me a 10 gallon tank with just a uva bulb was good to, and to keep it on hay for bedding.

Ok thank you for all the info! Any ideas as to how to get this little one to eat? Doesn't seem to have hardly any appetite. Maybe just still adjusting? It did finally poop today lol on my husband's hand.

I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I'm Jessica and I am in the Northern Ohio area. We just got our new little Sulcata this past week, and are very excited. Hopefully we have its tank set up correctly. The people we got it from told us a 10 gallon with just a uva light was fine...
