Hi everyone! My cute sulcata tortoise is a little over 4 years old. Up until this point, I have been calling it a "he" until I could figure out the sex. I looked a little closer today and it appears that it may be a female due to the shape of the anal chutes. I'll add some pictures to this...

I have a 1 1/2 year old sulcata tortoise. He gets baths weekly. I have a water dish large enough for him to sit in that's in his home. Lately, he's been sitting in it a lot more than usual. It wasn't a problem until recently. I've noticed that he will, I'm assuming pee (because there's no poop...

Today I just found two, small, brown spiders hanging out in their webs in my tortoise's enclosure. I'm not sure if this is common or if they are a danger to my tort. He's an almost year old sulcata. His enclosure is indoors and we live in Utah. After doing research I'm worried that it could be a...

Okay that makes sense. Honestly, I'm not sure what the humidity is at, is there a good thermometer or way that you recommend for me to find that out? I'm still a new owner so I'm not quite sure about these things.

Do you mean a red bulb? The lights are white and the lamp itself is black. I feed him a different type of food each week. Kale or sage usually sometimes mixed with aloe vera and Tortoise Entree.

I don't know what cuttle bone is, but I do dust a powder calcium supplement on his food once a week. Do I need to do it more often?

My baby sulcata (4 months old) has started to eat the bark and bite the wood on the walls of his tortoise house. He gets plenty of food during the day so I don't think he's hungry. Has this happened to anyone else's tortoise?

Hello! I'm a new sulcata tortoise owner! I got Scribble for my birthday last month. He's/she's about 4 months old. I love him so much and I just want to make sure I'm taking proper care of him. I currently live in Utah and we keep him indoors with a heat lamp that's set to about 90 degrees and...
