Not really that I have observed. Most of the eggs have been in her little hide in her shed or under her lamp in her shed. Today one came out while soaking. I live in Illinois at the moment, so she spent most of this past winter in a shed. She wasn’t lock up all winter prior so this could have...
She had limited contact with a male sulcata previously, but has not seen one in 8 months. They were rarely together, but he did get on top of her a few times. She has spent almost her entire life segregated from other tortoises.
My sulcata has started laying eggs for the first time this year. She is 5 years old and about 40 pounds. She started laying in mid may and I keep finding eggs to this day. The largest lay was 6 eggs, and I have found about 20; not to mention any I may have never seen.
My understanding is that...
I've continued the soaks but it is really hard to tell if he is getting any better or not. Currently 2x a day in warm baby food and warm water.
I've found him in his water bowl a few times lately, which I thought was encouraging; but when I returned later on he was still in it so it may have...
I’ve been doing sweet potato soaks the past couple days since I wasn’t 100% sure what was wrong. I’m going to pick up some carrot today.
Would keeping the uvb off for a day or two have any benefit?
I have talked to Andrew and made changes to the home to make it more accommodating. More accurate gauges have allowed me to get better control of some things.
Based on more reading and further examination of his newer symptoms, I believe it to be a vitamin a deficiency. He is not opening his...
Day temps range from 85-105 depending if cool side or in the hot spot, night temps stay more consistent in the low 80s. The tank was too dry at first, I have gotten the humidity up consistently over 50% now; I don’t trust these cheap gauges enough to say what exactly it is at, but I do re soak a...
I’ve had my baby for a couple of weeks now. Ordered him from Arizona Tortoise Compound. He started off fairly energetic but has definitely slowed down. At this point he barely moves, and will usually be exactly where I left him whenever I come back. When I take him out to soak he does still get...
