    ~5 month old Sulcata for adoption

    Life plans change and in the next 6-12 months mine will be too. We'll be out of the country more often than not and will not have anyone to take care of Mikey. He is around 5 months old, no way to know for sure, weighed in at 253 g this morning and was 4¼" long. I know this is still early but...

    New Growth

    Below is a picture of when we first got Mikey and a picture from today. Does he seem to be growing better than he was?

    Reliable Plant ID app?

    Does anybody know of a reliable plant ID app. I've tried a few different ones on the same plants I've found out in the yard with differing results on each. Google Lens is the latest I've used, I'd assume theirs would be more trustworthy than others but I don't know. Some of the stuff I've fed...

    Hide attachment?

    Do babies get attached to their hides? I started with one of the open ended hollow logs with a piece of wood attached to the end but it was too tall and open. It wasn't really a "hide" and I was informed it wouldn't be humid enough. A few weeks ago I changed that out for a porcelain open ended...

    Platinum Tortoise Club

    I signed up for the the platinum membership 8 days ago and I just need to check that it went through. I couldn't care less about the banner, I just need to make sure it went where it was supposed to go. I don't trust paypal but it was worth trying anyway.

    Another clicking post.

    I've read through quite a few of the "clicking" posts and haven't seen one with the same question/observation as me. Today I noticed Mikey making clicking sounds. It didn't happen with his mouth closed or while eating. He would just open his mouth and it looked like he was using his tongue to...

    Temp vs Humidity

    I've had my temporary solid lid on Mikey's enclosure since yesterday morning and have noticed a couple of things. The temp and humidity on the cool end where his hide and coconut fiber is at stays at around 79°F/99% but the hot end has cyprus mulch and is really hard to regulate. The temp...

    First time tortoise owner.

    My wife and I bought our 7 year old son his (ours also) first tortoise a week ago and he loves it. It is a very small Sulcata and so far it's doing great, it eats like a horse. No picture right now, it's hiding and sleeping. It measures 2.5 inches long and weighs 53 grams. I have no idea how...
