    Hi Tom, I’m looking for radiated tortoise to buy. I don’t want to get a CBW permit to get the tortoise from a different state. I live in LA and I read your post that you know people sell radiated tortoise in So California. Can you let me know the info for getting them? You can email me [email protected]. Thanks

    I don't have experience with the 6% bulbs. I would get a meter and check it. That is the only way to be certain.

    Hello Tom

    I saw you mention in a post about Geoclemys Hamiltonii and was wondering if you still have connections to someone that has these that they are selling within CA of course.

    Thank you,

    Hi Tom, I am very new to tortoise raising and have adopted a Sulcata that was going to be left. She is awesome and I have gotten some great info from your posts. (especially the food one) I am going to make a new home for her and I am trying to figure out what soil to use for it. I would like to plant some of the foods you mention all the time (the flowers and grass) but I am not sure what would be both.

    Hi Tom
    I'm in a similar climate. Near Morocco, Tenerife. I put details re humidity, hours of sun etc. I have a Russian, 1 now after advice from the forum. Need help re keeping her outside I read your articles. Plants, hibernation etc. I'm in a desert so was going to use soil and gravel Sand stone. Not the wood/bark I want to hose it clean. I'm interested in your views. You were especially recommended. Bye 4 now. M

    Hello Tom, I have read nothing but good things about your torts and the methods you use to raise them. I am looking for my second sulcata but want to make sure it comes from a reputable breeder. Do you have any available, or can recommend me to a good breede? I live in TX, DFW area.

    Could one replace calcium powder with cuttlefish bone? Also if it's windy but around 25 Celsius can my 1 yr old Leopard be kept outside? Recently built an outdoor enclosure. Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Hello and welcome. If its dry, sunny and 25C, your leopard should be fine for some outside time during the warmer part of the day. It helps to have an infrared thermometer to check surface temps of the ground and your tortoise's carapace.

    Help!! I have a baby sulcata about 4 mos old. Her eyes are constantly closed unless we are soaking her. For a week now she has stopped eating has less energy. We were feeding her spring mix, collard greens, cherry tom. and carrots. Her habitat is a terrarium with reptibark and reptisand. Temp 70-85 F H 40-60%. Soaks daily 15-20 min. Any ideas as to what we are doing wrong?
