I will soon be moving to a place in Corpus Christi, Texas with plenty of outdoor space. I haven't been on the forum in a while, i've actually been working with some tortoises in a pet store and helping make enclosures more suitable. Since the loss of my baby tortoise, Terra i've been holding off...

Terra was always extremely curious. He always tried to climb on things, and get into tiny crevices. Well.. I checked on him, took a shower, and when I came back he was flipped over under his heat lamp.. It was only about 20 minutes.. But it was enough. I walked in my room and saw he had...

I've decided to stick all of his updates into one thread.. Makes life easier.. My mom decide to feed him banana.( I never give him fruit) He only had a few bites but it was all over his face.

It's seems as if terra is FINALLY happy with his home!! He walks around like a mad person. He's also stopped trying to walk through walls (thank goodness) I got pretty worried about my tortoise eating cypress mulch, so when he started doing it I immediately got zoo med coco fiber bricks...

This morning my mom came to look at my tortoise.. She thinks that his shell is funny shaped, and that I should ask if this is normal. I think he looks fine, he may not have a perfect "bubble" shell, but I think he looks great. Just to ease both of our minds, how do you think he looks?

For some reason, he seems to want to eat more if I'm eating with him. He also likes me to be nearby or he just won't eat. It's pretty darned cute.

okay guys.. So for the past two days Terra has seemed to be extremely active in his enclosure.. Not the "oh yay i'm going to explore and be merry" kind of active either... the " lets try and break out of my tortoise enclosure" kind of active.. Lately i've noticed some things to be off about...

Hey guys. Last night i spent the night at a friends house, she needed my help dearly.. I told my parents how to take care of Terra for a day, that he needed grasses, and some lettuce while i was gone, to check on him to make sure he wasn't feeling adventurous and flipped himself over,take him...

Hey guys. I'm in need of a little help.. So, I bought a baby sully not even a week ago, and when I got him. I noticed there was already quite a bit of pyramiding for a little one. It bothered me quite a bit.. So this is what I've been doing to change it; I've been misting the walls of my...

I just woke up to see my little one chowing down on cypress mulch.. I don't know how long he was there for. I fed him yesterday and he ate just fine.. What do I do, he keeps trying :S

I got terra the tortoise today. At first she was quite lethargic as to be expected. But good gracious after a few hours, this little one was on his own mission!! When he's in his enclosure he just sorta stays wherever I put him.. But when i took him outside, he was like a lightning bolt!! He was...

I just got Terra not even 20 minutes ago. He just barely started moving around. Even then he's not moving much, but its to be expected. I soaked him in warm water for about 15 minutes until he finally poked his little head out. I've never smiled so big in my life! :} he's beautiful :') He...

I have a ton of this plant in my backyard, it's all over the ground. Does anyone know if this is safe for a sulcata to eat?[hr]

I'm getting my baby sulcata on Tuesday, and I was wondering how often I need to change its mulch, if at all? I've heard from some that i need to change it once every two months, and others that they never even change it! I'd like to know the forum's opinions.

Okay, so, I'm buying a sulcata tortoise next week, i was going to do it this week, but my paycheck came a bit short, so i decided just to buy everything for its indoor enclosure. I just bought the T-REX 150watt reptile day & night red heat lamp. I turned it on for a bit to see how hot it would...

:tort: I'm planning on buying a young sulcata. I've never owned a tortoise before, but i've read nearly everything there is to know about them. I've been wanting one for quite a while, but before i made the decision to actually get one, i decided it was best to research as much as i could...
