Awesome my grandmother was from Croatia. And very nice looking sulcata you have raised.

When I die I want to come back to life as one of your tortoises!!

Very nice!!

You may want to reconsider owning a sulcata tortoise if a 9x3x3 is to large for your accommodations.These guys grow large and grow fast.This forum is built on responsible tortoise keeping by responsible tortoise keepers and it takes a special commitment to own and properly house a giant tortoise.

I guess I have nothing to complain about since we are spoiled down here with great temps and humidity for our torts ,most of the time. Last night hit 34 and the first thing this morning I went to check on my floor temperature of my nightbox.It was around 65 floor level in which I was a little...

I think the stumpinator is the gold standard that juvenile sulcatas should be held to. He's a beatiful tortoise and it shows the time and commitment you take . Good Job Well done!!!!!

I use about an inch of coconut coir on the bottom and an inch of repto bark on top.It seems a little bit easier to remove tort droppings which i try to do on a daily basis.Do yourself and your new tortoise a favor and read Toms caresheet for baby sulcatas and follow it the best you can and it...

Thank you Tom the dog trainer.I think you hit the sulcata ownership commitment perfect.Everybody loves giant tortoises but having one takes a special setup in the correct climate and its a lifetime commitment,

My ivory male sulcatas name is Lips because he looks like Mick Jagger

Welcome ,Can't help with the tortoise problem but stay tuned in one of our in house experts will know and probably be glad to help you and especially the tortoise.They will have to have more information like what type of tortoise ? What you are feeding it? What are the day time and night time...

Yes you can count me in.Living in south Florida and having two sulcatas I have large outdoor enclosures and its very difficult to almost impossible to identify and eradicate any plant that is not considered safe by tortoise table standards.A lot of the plants I encounter are not even listed so...
