Yea I get that the sulcata I have was a reduce because the person was going to have him outside all winter with no shelter. I really want to get a cherry head and I am just weighing my options right now

Thank you so much for the input that helps me a lot yea right now I have a 8ftx8ft shelter for the sulcata that’s heated so I would make one a good size for whatever I decide to get!

Hey everyone I live in SC where summers can get around 100f and winter stays around 20-30f but can get down to single digits. I currently have a large male sulcata that I keep outside year around through the use of a large heated shelter he can use when he’s cold and I know I can do this because...

In this case no while air is a good insulator it is not as good as say sand or actual installation.

Here is part two!

Yea its 3ft tall I made it bigger so it was easier to get in and clean and I planned to have more tortoises. I didn’t insulate the floor cause I’m debating on how to do that and be able to clean it easy. it’s less of a night box and more a structure it’s insulated with reflective panels but I’m...

I have a forced air heater as well as oil filled heater it’s an ground bottom. So my problem isn’t providing the heat but dispersing it

It’s that time of year, the temps are dropping here is SC and my sulcata stays outside all year long. I built a 8’x8’x48” cinder block and wood insulated shelter for him right now even though it’s so small the top half of the shelter sits at 80+ degrees F but the bottom half where he is is 60-65...

Plus now I have a lot of lily pads growing to help shade it as well!

Yea I had that problem initially before I put fish in but once I put dirt around it to help insulate and put a shade cover over it it stays cool now!

Hey guys here is my aboveground turtle pond I am working on for my painted turtle. This video is part 1 I will post part 2 when I finish!

Hey everyone I have a 25lb sulcata that I’ve had for about 8 months and recently when I soak him every so often he excretes a dark brown water stool a good bit of it but no firmness to it at all he still poops regularly but also has this any ideas? His main diet is grass and hay he loves outside...

Thanks for the suggestion I might get one of those mats! I am going to use a technique that makes the floors and smooth and easy to clean as laminate tile!

I am going to put sand down to help insulate under the concrete and then seal the concrete for easy cleaning. I filled all the blocks with sand for insulation I am caulking all seems for heat retention and keeping draft out

Im building the top so it will be hinged so it will fold over so I can clean it and still be standing! And yes I mortared them together!

I am currently in the process of building my male sulcata his outdoor permanent enclosure. Here is part 1 of the build that I posted on my youtube channel! If you have any advice or tips as I finish please let me know and I will post part two and pics once its done!

Hey everybody, someone reached out to me needing to find a home for their turtle knowing I had a lot of experience with reptiles and amphibians. They didn’t say he had any health issues and I agreed to take him once I got him I am now concerned he is not healthy here are pics. Am I️ wrong in...

See when I first saw him I was like yep definitely a male then I was at a reptile show and saw a similar size female that had gular projections close to that size so it made me second guess lol and he has the extra scutes on top which I was told could indicate female.

I’m pretty sure I have a male but someone told me it might be a female so I figured I’d post a few pics and let the experts decide!

Thank you so much for your advice! It’s really nice to see this is doable in our climate! I plan to bring him inside on the real cold nights! So you let him roam on days that it’s around 40-55 degrees outside?
