    Aggression

    Hello all! I searched quite a few posts but didn't find my answer, apologies in advance if this topic is overdone. Almost 3-year-old male Sulcata is getting grouchy with us. He rams into my shins and ankles when I am in his enclosure cleaning or changing water. Head tucked and barrels forward...

    Are the torts male or female?

    Sunlight question

    I’m a little paranoid about my tortoises getting enough sun. They have an outdoor area they spend at least an hour a day in, but most of the time much longer. We live in Florida so the weather is pretty perfect for them. They spend much of it in the shade or hide though. Is that still...
