    Biting my toes!!

    My two year old male sulcata is as happy and healthy as I could want. When I'm in the kitchen cooking or doing dishes he always under foot. I think it's adorable of course, but sometimes he'll bite my toes. What gives? Am I food? Is he trying to get my attention?

    [split] Pyramiding w/ Pics ????

    I brought Orson home 2 months ago from a reputable pet shop here in San Diego. I did lots of my own research prior to bringing him home, but like many people on this forum, I got bad advice about humidity levels. Thanks to this forum and good old fashion book learnin' I knew the salesman was...

    Possible Shell Deformation

    My girlfriend and I brought home a hatchling sully 2 weeks ago. His name is Orson and from his petite size I'm assuming he's only a few weeks old. I have an indoor and outdoor enclosure for him here in San Diego. His indoor enclosure is the ZooMed Tortoise House. I have a MVB on a 12 hour timer...
