Haha yes it is very cute still! No worries :)

yes I worried about that too, but luckily the vet said he was clear too. thank you though!

No, not at all. He hasn't ever either. His temperatures are all consistent with Tom's. Though even a little warmer right now because of the weather.

Hi guys, so my sulcata has been making this noise since I got him about 8 months ago. I finally caught it on tape, and I have taken him to a vet recently who said he looks extremely healthy. Normally, his soaks are in a nice big kiddie pool, but I wanted to capture the sound and there was...

The wall is very, very temporary. We are building a little stone retaining wall about a foot high and four inches wide. This was just until we could get the stone in. Thank you guys!

Hi there! So I have built this outdoor enclosure for my sulcata. I live in Southern California where the departures have been nice and warm lately, but I still have a CHE and basking bulb inside the wood enclosure. The CHE stays on 24/7 for the temperatures to remain a good temperature at night...

Oh really?! That makes me feel so much better because thats exactly what he does. Thank you!

my tortoise has been doing this also, though there isn't anything that could be stuck. Did anyone find out what this is??

Exactly, the tortoises lives are not worth trying to keep the two together, especially when they can easily be separated.

I agree completely, and read another one of Tom's great threads and will definitely be keeping them completely separate more.

Thank you! I am too, and I'll make sure to watch him even more closely

Thank you guys very much! My younger sister has a dog thats a small 10 pound poodle mix that would be the culprit. We have been watching her more extensively now, because she didn't have any interest but suddenly does. I believe she tried to pick him up. Those are the only marks and there are...

Yes that is. I think that is what it is, thank you. I'm about 10 minutes out, though it's fairly dry. Sadly, he was brought up dry and I got him at about 9 months, have had him for four. We have his humidity to 50%, but are building a closed enclosure from what your threads have suggested on...

Hi guys, my tortoise has this hole like cut in the side of his shell.. it's not soft and he doesn't mind if you touch it and nothing comes out of it. I don't knoww if he scratched it walking by something or what. If anyone can help me, give me tips or anything it'd be much appreciated.

Hi Tom, I was wondering how to keep the humidity at 80% in a closed enclosure and hide box. Sadly, my little guy was brought up dry and has some tough pyramiding that I want to stop for the rest of his long life. I have read all your threads also, but none specifically say how to increase...
