Right now he's in Rotonda west and my aunt was supposed keep him a few years for me (maybe 2-5 years). Or less if I find a good permanent family for him instead.
Thank you. I agree - it's hard and who knows what the future holds. Although when it comes to my animals I don't mess around. Other parts of my life? eh maybe lol.
I tried zoos a while ago and none are taking them. They all claim to be inundated with sulcatas. Can't remember the last time I...
Thanks yes he is way too big to live inside now. He is a smaller sized boy for his age but he was very very destructive as expected at the age of 14. He was ready to be outside. I am hoping a member would be willing to take him and foster. Or if they adopt I'd love to know he is okay. Today is...
My male sulcata has been happily living in Florida with a family member but is no longer welcome there. We live in New York and within the next 5 years we are looking for a house with backyard so that he can stay in our family. I am so sad, I don't want to give him up but I have to bring him...
Thank you both. I appreciate the replies. There will be dogs in the yard a few times a day so we will have to figure out the granules situation. Oh boy.
Hi all,
I need some advice regarding red ants. My sulcata is going to Florida in a month and the area has red ants. We are planning his setup (outdoors) but need some advice on the safety of diatomaceous earth and sulcatas living on top of it.
Can I mix the de with soil and put hay down on...
That's really nice. I can appreciate that you formed a friendship which can also make it not seem like an annoyance to send photos/updates. I really don't want to burden or annoy the adopter..and forming a friendship would be a nice bonus! It'll be tough to find someone like that I'm sure. I am...
Hi everyone,
I am wondering if anyone has experience with adopters who have kept in contact with the previous owner over the years? Just for small updates? I am looking into possibly putting my boy up for adoption but I'm having some attachment issues (I know, I know) and I worry about him...
LOL he's actually pretty well behaved! We've moved 4 times with him and it only took a quick paint job to fix his mess around the baseboard. He bangs the corner of one wall a bit and scrapes some paint but I've been able to keep him on a very large pond liner so I've minimized floor damage...
Thanks for explaining. That does make complete sense to me as I have boarded dogs in the past so I understand the liability issue. I will gather some pics of him. I appreciate the detailed reply.
Hey everyone,
Apartment life has finally proven to be too much for us after so many years and we are looking to buy a house with a backyard for my sulcata. In the meantime, we need to sell this apartment and find a house. I would like him to spend time in a safe home while we market the...
Colin, what tortoise rescue did you find? I have been researching rescues for my guy and have had no luck because I am so paranoid due to all the crazies out there.
