I have a sulcata that my husband brought home due to the fact that the people who had him were woefully ignorant and were literally slowly killing it. We llive in the northeast and its too cold here for a two thirds of the year and we are getting up in years and its just too much for us to keep...
OK, thanks. I'll get his poop tested soon and I will let you know the result. The only reason I mentioned about how fast or slow he;s growing is only because I'm wondering if maybe I've done something wrong in not testing him already for parasites and if he does have them and has had them for...
See, Yvonne, this is just what I was talking about when I said that many vets say they know about reptiles, but they DON'T. Here is MA where I live I've looked for miles and miles for an exotic or reptile vet and I cannot find one. I did take my sulcatta to a vet who "knew about reptiles and...
I just saw your reply. Thank you. So I guess I should just take some poop to my dog's vet and ask them to look for any parasites. I will do that. Do you know if he is positive for them, I would think that it could affect his growth rate, correct? He's not small, small but I would think that...
Thank you, I try, and as I said I've gotten a lot from this site, from you and other "old timers" as well as other sites. I also like the "Camp Kenan" site. Have you ever seen his beautiful sanctuary for many tortoises and YouTube videos which you can see everything and he explains and teaches...
I am hoping that the shell keeps getting better from the bottom up. Compared to how I got him, its improved a lot! He was about 1/3 of the size he is now. I actually last winter grew him in my basement clover grass I bought from the same place I got the TNT from. They sell cactus pads too I buy...
I have my approx. 6 yr. old sulcata in the house right night due to the cold weather here in MA. I have an area of the house which I laid down some floor, built a box which goes over 2 corners of baseboard heat so it can get pretty warm in there when heat is cranking. He can come out and in...
I am looking to rehome my sulcata. Unfortunately, we live in Massachusetts and it gets way too cold up here in the winters. Are you stlll looking to adopt a sulcata and if so can you tell me why and a little about where he'd be living if you gave him a home? We've had him/rescued him about 3 or...
Hi,
I am looking to rehome my sulcata. He is about 5 - 6 yrs. old and we are looking for a GREAT home for him. Are you still looking for a sulcata? He is really sweet and a good boy but I must be sure he is going to a good home. If you are still looking, where do you live/where would he be...
