    Sully's progress

    I'm happy with the numbers. I was worried at the beginning because he was barely growing/gaining weight. I think I've also stopped his pyramiding which I'm content about too. His new growth is starting to look smooth.

    Sully's progress

    Just thought i'd start a size progression thread of my little sully Bowser. When Hubby and I originally purchased him from the breeder, he was 8 weeks old roughly around the end of November 2017. He is now 23 weeks old. When we purchased him, he was the smallest of the ones she brought out for...

    from 20 Gallon Long to a 75 gallon 48"x18" , light, heat, etc help

    oh wow, that's very creative! I never would have thought of that. Thanks for the advice! I'll talk it over with hubby and see if he has time to do something like that. I'm not very handy and he works 6 days a week 10 hours a day so I know he's exhausted on his day off and just wants to enjoy the...

    So I'm picking up a 48" x 18" x 24" aquarium for my 4 month old Sully. My question is light set up and heat set up. Any suggestions on what I should buy to maintain adequate temps through out. I will enclose the top to maintain humidity as best I can. THANKS!

    How long outdoors? 4 month old sully

    I live in Southern California, right now weather is great during the day. Today is a high of 73*, it starts to drop around 6pm into the lover 60s and one night hits it's entirely too cold for him to be out there. I'll have to measure him. Thanks for the help

    Varying a sulcata diet? Am I doing it wrong?

    Thanks! I don't have good grass source around so I bought some wheat grass seeds and grew that in the kitchen. I also replanted some bok choy, endive, escarole, and kale, also some carrot tops. We've also tried cilantro which he liked. I'll also include some weeds from around the back yard so we...

    How long before sully can go out full time?

    Hi All, Bowser is about 12 weeks now. Still tiny and in no hurry to move him/her outdoors. Was just wondering, at what age or size is it appropriate to relocate them outdoors? Also, how long do I need to maintain humidity levels? Thank you in advance.

    has anyone used a exo terra terrarium for a tortoise

    i agree, it would only be comfortable for a baby. I have a baby sulcata in a 20 gallon long tank and it's barely suitable, i'll be having to upgrade very soon.
