I've been wanting to remodel and turn his enclosure completely bioactive, especially now with it usually being too cold to take him outside. I have cultures of Powder Orange Isopods, Dwarf Purple Isopods and Springtails on the backburner right now but just wanted a second opinion on if adding...
He's so funny I'm losing my mind
I have never seen a tortoise move to fast he literally races around the 40 gallon taste testing everything!! Dirt? Tested. Both hides? Tested. Rock? Tested. Water dish? Tested. Glass wall?? Tested.
He also tears through the grasses I give him... He's a little...
He's here!!! I didn't sleep at all last night I just kept refreshing the package tracker! Tortoisesupply boxed him up nicely, nice hard shell and no yellow spots or bumps as far as I can see!
He definitely does not share my enthusiasm about his trip here but at least he's very active in his...
Ive ordered a new baby from Tortoisesupply and remade the tank
I'm gonna go and get a terracotta saucer tommorow morning... Can't wait for when i can show off the tank in a few weeks after the grass starts to grow inside and it looks less bland.
Thank you for all the support on this thread...
My sulcata recently passed due to the yellow spots thing going around right now and i was advised to sanitize everything. Ive boiled and baked wooden hides and replaced all the dirt and plants and gotten new rocks in anticipation for my new sulcata from tortoise supply!
But how should i go...
Yeah. Two people just replied with "good." In response to this thread, and had made some dumb troll thread themselves that they were going back and forth on.
Underground is very shady about refunds and returns (i.e basically they'll tell you that as soon at the animal is out of their possession it's your fault if anything happens) so I've gone and opened a dispute with paypal which is under review. I also plan on getting a hatchling from Tom.
Thank...
Thank you. I'm very saddened but this is reassuring...
If i could be pointed in the direction to anyone who currently has sulcata hatchlings for sale that'd be great too.
This is a photo of the yellow spot/bump on him that i took the day i got him. I posted to r/tortoises on reddit asking what it was but never got a reply.
Yeah he did have a big orange/yellow bump/spot on his neck but I honestly assumed it was skin peeling or something.
And yes he's passed and not reacting at all to me.
Here's what his tank looks like with a water bottle for size reference. Sorry my camera is bad lol
Yeah I meant to mention in my initial post but i was soaking him twice a day for 15-20 minutes in warm water. Not that long because I always felt bad watching him try to get out of the deli cup I was soaking him in. I'm in texas considering getting a new baby from tortstork. Also the light i was...
Hello, sorry if this isn't the right spot to post this but im so devastated right now. I got a hatchling Sulcata Tortoise from 'underground reptiles' few weeks ago and thought I was doing everything right up till now. My biggest mistake was I'd assume in being a newbie is that he arrived with a...
