does his growth line look ok? What does it look ‘fresh’ kind of really light pink

so lately I’ve been curious to know a dehydrated sulcata might be. His neck is a little flaky, he still goes to the bathroom and he eats and he’s also very active when he’s outside. But when he’s in his house - he just sleeps for the most part. He’s less than a year old and I still soak him...

it’s been really chilly here in FL... my sulcata is sleeping and pooping and peeing but isn’t eating much unless it’s his mazuri. I soak him daily and he’s at 80+ constantly... he’s been like this since it’s been chilly. When it’s warm enough out (with sun) I put him outside and he eats whatever...

I know that I’ve written a thread like this before but it’s been soooo cold in Florida and I’m nervous for my sulcata!!! I have a small space heater in his room and it’s on throughout the night - I am curious to know what a good night body temperature is??? It’s going down to about 35 tonight...

I have a humid hide that I spray daily and today I went to resoak the moss and I noticed mold (or what I think is mold) is there an alternative?

i noticed today that my sulcata has a flat part on his back, is this normal? It’s about right on top of his butt

so I use the zoomed daylight blue bulbs and they’re expensive... they also burn out easily. I also use another bulb that’s just a basic house light bulb. Can I use the house light bulb for both spots in his dome lamp? When I bought him, they gave me a set up with a blue light bulb. Is there...

I recently put coconut oil on my tortoise and I am curious to see if this is OK? Should the oil be removed so that he can absorb water? Did I put too much?

after I mist my tort, I don’t dry him off completely. I noticed some white lines around his scutes. I’m assuming it’s new growth from the research I’ve done - is it okay to leave their shells moist?

how do you guys advise I give my tort calcium from the sun? It’s gonna be high 60 low 40 this week in Florida and I can’t gice him any outside time because it’s way too cold and the sun is definitely not strong enough this time of year

does his belly look normal? The dark spots and all???

as the torts get older, how do you go about soaking? Like cooler or warmer or just according to the temp outside ??

this is the first time I’ve ever seen my tort pee like this... it’s ushally clear with urates. Is he ok???

so today it’s been kinda rainy here in FL... pretty cloudy and gross out. It just rained and now it’s chilly. Do tortoises know when the weather is crappy? My tort was out earlier when the sun was out and I soaked him and then brought him in. He ate a bunch while he was outside but for now he’s...

My sulcata is about 6 months now and I live in Florida. We don’t have much of a winter so I’d like to know what the lowest degrees to let him roam outside would be. It’s 77 out but so sunny! Any thoughts?

went outside to my sulcata munching on a dead toad or frog... not sure. He was half way gone when I got out there. I tried to pull it out of his mouth but I only got his leg. I’m nervous... what Can I do?? Is there anything I can do?

i have mazuri diet LS and my tort doesn’t really like it... I see multi colored pellets that look interesting, anything else I can give him as far as a food?

i could just be overthinking and a crazy tort mom but does his belly look normal? What’s that dark spot I see? Yes I know he has poo on him, I soak him daily and give him a little wipe

so for the first time, the weather broke in FL and it was cool today. My baby sulcata lives indoors, however, he’s been asleep since 3-4 this evening and it’s now 10 pm. Do they sleep more often/longer when it’s cold?

I am super excited for this!! I live in sunny FL so I know the outdoor enclosure will be perfect for him but I was just wondering which dirt/soil is best for them? I have his own grazing grass and weeds but I was just wondering which soil is best for them as well as their weeds to grow!
