Im not asking for money. I just want someone with experience who understands what kind of care he needs.
Im not sure about shipping. Ive never shipped live animals to anyone. If I can find out the best way to ship and keep him warm, then yes, as long as its not all the way across the country.
Approximately 8-9 month old sulcata baby for adoption to knowledgeable tortoise home.
I got him July 3rd, 2018, from The Turtle Source. I am looking for someone with experience who would like to take him and give him more time than I have to get him to thrive.
Please feel free to take the time...
I think our baby, Sheldon, may finally be succombing to his breeder failure.
He was 4-5 months old when we got him, and is now about 9 months old. Still hasnt really grown or gained weight, despite all the right care.
Something happened last night to the power at his tank, and the heater didnt...
Its recommended by many that you do NOT house tortoises together, no matter what sex.
Is it possible for you to make 2 enclosures? Possibly cut the one you have in half?
Im not sure that would put out the heat needed for digestion. Also, wont you have a light for the cage anyway? The one thing I heard is that a heat mat is bad for them to LAY on, as they could burn or overheat. They work suspended for heat, but I dont think they can replace light.
Im sure some...
At the end of June 2018, I purchased 2 18-20 week old "well started" sulcata hatchlings from The Turtle Source. Both were to be hatchlings with extra scutes. I had seen them on youtube and heard that they were one of the largest breeders of turtles and tortoises in the southeast, and since they...
This is the one I just built. It has double walls, ceiling and floor, with insulation between the walls. I have my 2 sulcata hatchlings in it. Due to the plexiglass, it doesnt hold heat as much as Id like, but it holds humidity very well.
Id have to go over the receipts to be sure, but between $600-700 is a good estimate. You could probably do it a bit cheaper with different front doors and single walls, instead of double insulated walls. Depend on where youre putting it and the climate. I live in central Florida and it sits on...
Sorry, its been hectic here and I forgot to reply!
I used furring strips and thin plywood sheets for most of it. There is also styrofoam insulation in between the walls and floor ( its double walled, floored and double ceiling with insulation). Stick on laminate tiles for the floor, and I sealed...
I guess its one step forward,another step back. I weighed them today after soaking, and they both LOST a gram or two. Ive even been giving them free choice to all kinds of food the last few days to see if they would gain more, thinking maybe I wasnt feeding enough, even though they always have...
