    Tort doesn’t feel good

    I came home today and my little guy was tucked in his hide not asking to come out. We have a schedule and every day mid day when we come home he comes outside for about 2-3 hours in his patio area for grazing and exercise. He’s very people oriented and comes to our feet and hangs out. We keep...

    Normal urine color

    I saw my lil guy ( Sulcata 1 year)urinate earlier on the patio but as I was busy I didn’t clean it right away. Now as it’s drying I noticed it looks reddish. He is currently eating dandelions mixed with his hay and grass for last few days. I’m hoping that’s what it is?

    Dent on shell?

    Hi everyone! My little guy is 10 months old. Weighs 175 grams. I have noticed this tiny indentation between the scutes for a few months but didn’t worry since he is thriving. Recently on Facebook I’ve seen it on other pictures of other young Sulcatas as well so now I’m wondering what it is?
