With all the smartphone "selfies" recently, Elvis wanted to get in on the act. (That's me having my 5 minutes of fame)

My 4 yr old granddaughter talking with Elvis. She is a bit intimidated by his size so she never gets too close but she has quite a lot to say and he seems to be listening intently.

Maddox with 13 yr old Elvis [hr] Maddox with 3 yr old Ziggy2

My 13 yr old Sulcata, Elvis, just displayed his first act of aggression toward me when I was cleaning out his tortoise shed. Elvis let me know in no uncertain terms that I was invading his space! Elvis has always been a curious fellow and is underfoot whenever I am working in his enclosure...

I was given this shed free and wanted to use it for my Elvis' nighttime/cool weather house. I have a Kane mat 18x18. Would I anchor it directly to the shed or should I use plywood flooring to anchor. Wanted to know the best way to set it up. [hr] This shows the whole shed.

Hot day and I was watering down the enclosure area prepping dirt for future planting. Elvis was curious, as usual, so he stood right over the top of the sprinkler.:D

Elvis and Ziggy2 are enjoying the expansion. The men at my house are finishing up some of the lattice slats and then we have more tilling before planting some sod. We will also be planting other edibles in planters. What has been great is that all the redwood was recycled from other fencing...

Here is Elvis just chillin on a warm day. He likes relaxing in this house, which is seperate from his heated night house. It has been 2 months since the workers rebuilding a neighbors fence carelessly sprayed him with fence stain. It hasn't worn off at all but fortunately there have not been any...

Last week the men in my family started work on the tortoise enclosures expansions project for my 2 sulcatas, Elvis and Ziggy2. Elvis is my 13 yr old and has lived outside in an area alongside the in-law unit on our property. His current space has been a bit small but he has been allowed...

For those of you on the site who read my post about Elvis being spattered with fence stain by our neighbors hired workers, he is doing just fine. No signs of the stain spots wearing off but he has had no ill effects at all. It's been quite hot here in Cali, SF East Bay Area.....temps...

One of the tall fences of Elvis' enclosure is a shared fence with a neighbor. The neighbor hired some workers to replace the fence. We spoke with these workers and asked them to come to our house before they started on that section so we could move Elvis while they worked. They started work...

Beautiful, hot day here in the Bay Area. My old timer Elvis having free run of the property. He shows the marks (pyramiding) of my early inexperience but fortunately he is strong and healthy. He's quite a bruiser too, always ramming into things and scraping up his shell. [hr] Here's my...

These are some pictures of my older Sulcata Elvis' enclosure. It is always a work in progress because he continues to grow and needs expansion. We have had to work on a very tight budget since moving to this property on 1/3 acre. Many personal setbacks and physical challenges have dampered...

My 2 1/2 yr old Sulcata Ziggy2 made this pattern in his indoor enclosure this afternoon after coming inside from his outdoor time. I asked everyone in the house if they had done it. It looks like a picture of an alien visit.

Elvis trying to move the soccer ball down field. Just love this face! Ziggy2 in grazing heaven. Curious Ziggy2 Another cute face from Ziggy2!

Enjoying the sunshine again with my 5 year old grandson, 12 yr old Elvis, 2 1/2 yr old Ziggy2 and our 10 yr old blond Scottie, Dexter. Elvis was bulldozing his way thru the kids table and chairs and checking out my grandsons toys. Dexter is very mellow and calm with both of my Sullies. Elvis on...

This is the younger of my 2 Sulcatas. He is a rescue I have had for 18 months and is approximately 2 1/2 yrs old. Ziggy2 was loving the sun today but my 12 yr old guy, Elvis, decided he wanted to stay in his house this afternoon after coming out to eat this morning.

Elvis and Ziggy2 are not housed together but I sometimes take pics with them together.

Hello, my name is Karen and I have 2 wonderful Sulcatas, Elvis and Ziggy2. I have had Elvis since he was about 3 months old and he is now 12 years old. Ziggy2 came to me about 14 months ago as a rescue and is approximately 2 years old. We live in N. California. My Elvis lives...
