I got a baby sulcata (Micah) a month ago and I wanted to share a picture. I had a year and a half (Amara) but she went missing. She didn’t burrow or climb out of her enclosure. She wasn’t sick. I feel horrible because I didn’t put something other than giving her a shade on top. I saw some hawks...

I haven’t posted in a while. Amara is spending all of her time except rainy days and nights outside now. I got her less than a year ago. More like rescued her from a pet store only feeding her cabbage reptile carpet for a substrate and poor lighting and heat source. She was supposed to be a year...

Amara is eating great gaining weight but every few days she only eats a little and isn’t herself. I soak daily but I increased it to three times a day when she passed a pea sized urate/stone/ cuttlebone. she rips at her cuttlebone like her best friend. I go through a lot. I’m thinking these are...

I bought sulcata African grass seeds. That’s well and good but I have no idea how to plant it for inside and in large pots. I have never planted regular grass seed. I live in Arkansas in lowland with saturated grounds and winter would destroy it. I’m stupid because I thought planting what Amara...

I can’t help it. I have to share my excitement. I haven’t gotten Amara to eat hay yet. Today I put grass I cut fresh from the yard. She took right to it. I’m a step closer. I got her in November and grass wasn’t readily available. She was so young even soaking hay she refused. I had to resort to...

uvb bulbs but uva also? I understand the basking. I didn’t realize coiled bulbs were bad but I never use them. Zoo med makes them and the guy at the exotic store tried to sell me one. I do need to find another brand however. I don’t know about anyone else but I’ve been buying mine through zoo...

I was given a baby one year old sulcata as a gift from my wife who purchased it not knowing from safari pets store. She was actually a hatchling or close to it with the umbilica still there. Her enclosure did not have proper lighting heating substrate and food. Her substrate was reptile carpet...

I was given a baby sulcata November the 11th of 2018. She weighed 52 grams. I weighed her yesterday and she’s now at 116 grams. How do I know if I am feeding her too much and is she growing too fast? I had to get a bigger log hide and cave because she’s gotten taller. She seems healthy. No...

I woke up and the first thing I do is feed Amara. I have to pass her aquarium to do so. I walked past and took one step back to see if I saw what I thought I did. I did not realize a sulcata so young had the strength and coordination to carry a cuddle bone on top of her rock cave. She continues...

I have to thank the people in the forum for helping me learn what I could never have on my own. I got Amara the middle of November as a early Christmas present. My wife got her from a pet store and her living conditions were horrible along with the care advice they gave my wife. She had a...

i weighed Amara when I got her and she weighed 52 grams. It’s been a month and a half now and she is at 58 grams. She was at 60 before her respiratory infection and she’s almost back to where I had her. Let me get to my point. She still has the circular thing on her belly so I know she is really...

my vet gave me injections for my baby Amara. I was shown how to give them between the leg neck area. I know baytril stings and she just got it. My question is is it normal she doesn’t want to use that leg. She can but and did to get away. Seeing your vet give the injection versus giving it I am...

Amara was a birthday gift to me from my spouse last month. When I was told she/he came from a exotic pet store I had to go see how they had been caring for Amara. I knew when they said sulcata’s eat cabbage and only need reptile carpet she wasn’t cared for properly. I scheduled a vet appointment...
