He just replied to a forum PM, he said his reply emails got caught up in his drafts but Bowser is doing well and that he would send me a video and some pictures. As soon as I see the pic and video I'll be happy, hopefully he will get around to it soon.

Hey Dennis, is Bowser ok at your place, did he make it ok? I'm having trouble getting a response from you.

He is a member here. I confirmed with him that someone would be there to receive Bowser but I haven't heard from him since.

Bowser went to dbsneed69 in Tennessee, I mailed him on Monday and he got there on Tuesday morning. Dennis was really good at getting back to my emails but atm I've sent him 3 emails in 4 days and he hasn't responded and I haven't heard from him since I mailed Bowser. I'm really worried for...

Bowser is still very much available and free to a good home. If possible I'm thinking this thread would be better suited if moved too the Adoptions section.

Thanks guys it's not a decision I wanted to make but I feel like I need too. @ Zeko You aren't wrong, they can bet kept in Northern states with a big enough setup, but I have to be realistic with what I'm able to provide. I believe I could keep Bowser alive and physically healthy, but what that...

Thanks Yvonne G I'll let Bowser know :) Unfortunately I did fall into the idea that Sulcatas could be kept where I live, but after two years with this little guy I realized he does need to be down south to have proper care. If you have any suggestions of any other tortoise species I could look...

About Bowser: I bough Bowser almost 2 years ago at a local pet shop. I've really enjoy keeping a tortoise as a pet, but I've come to realize that sulcatas are truly build for the heat, and Northern Illinois so far from ideal for a sulcata that I don't think I will be able to provide Bowser with...

Southwest does not allow pets to travel in checked luggage, also they charge $95 each way for a pet. Not a pet friendly airline.

I've had this issue aswell. A few months ago my wife was working in Texas for a few months and wanted get a tort and fly it home when the job was over. We called TSA and explained it to them that it's a safe small pet that would be in a carrier and they were fine with it, but when we called...

Thanks everyone, I'm really liking how friendly this forum is.

Ok I see now, for some reason I thought it looked abnormal and now I see that making this thread was kind of silly. Thank you for the input Kelly.

I just noticed my sulcata looks like it has two gular scutes instead of one. Bowser is about a year old and is healthy and active. I can't tell the sex yet but I attached an anal scute picture anways incase anyone has any idea. Is this common and are there things I should look out for in...

Bump again, I'm really wondering how the coil bulbs can damage their eyes and what type of bulb you recommend. Thanks

Bump, just looking for help with the questions I asked in post #7 @ ascott If it is a beak injury to they heal nicely? I didn't think that could bite down hard enough to damage their own beak.
