Ready to order an UVB bulb for my 6 year old Russian. I always get a new one for her enclosure every 6 months. I have used the PowerSun 100watt and the Mega Ray in the past. Any new or better ones out there, or just get one of those? She stays outside during the day when warm, but inside during...

I saw this on Craigslist, and wanted to pass it on. These beauties deserve a good home. You can contact the owner Clint Wilder @ 678-778-6768. https://bham.craigslist.org/for/6252402807.html FOR SALE: MALE & FEMALE (PAIR) SULCATA TORTOISES - $800 about the tortoises (also known as African...

Well, we hit the 6 pound mark, and he is 9.5 inches. His personality has definitely come out. I keep him in his outdoor enclosure during the day, but we have a new routine. Before I bring him in, I will give him free roam of the fenced backyard. He follows me around the yard, and occasionally...

Milo is 20 months. He weighs 5.2 lbs and is 9". I have a house set up in his outdoor enclosure, but I have a few questions. I am in Florida, so our temps are 88-68. If I lock him in his outdoor house at night with hay, do I need to keep his temps at 80 degrees, or will the 68 night temps be ok...

I knew this winter would be the last time that Milo would be kept in his tortoise table. It is 6' x 2'. Milo is only 3 lbs, but he is a mighty one! Today he has successfully scratched through a wall of his enclosure. I am planning his outside heated box, but was really surprised to find that...

Such a big change from one year ago. We are having some beautiful weather in Florida. Milo has been out in his green, luscious pen during the day, but when I am outside, I will let him out to free roam. He is like a tortoise on steriods. So funny to watch him zoom around. There is nothing but...

It has been awhile since I updated Milo. He is now 1 year and 2 months. 2.28 pounds & 7 inches long. He spent most of his waking hours this summer, outside. He is now spending about half that time in the last few weeks due to the cooler weather.

Not quite a one pounder...but getting close. Weighs 447 and is now 5 inches. Now that our weather is perfect, he spends most of the time outside. He is brought in before it gets dark to his nice inside home.

I just want to be sure I am doing everything right for Milo. I live in Florida, and our temps have been nice and warm...85ish. And of course the humidity is, well....Florida. I have been putting Milo in his outside enclosure for 5-6 hours daily. He is 8 months and 4.5 inches, and 370 grams. Is...

Another good month!! Milo is finally able to get outside for 4 hours each day, when the weather is nice. He is 291 grams ( 10.26 ounces) and measures 4.5 inches. It is hard to believe that he was only 1 ounce seven months ago!!

Big growth spurt!! He is 229 grams. Gained 48 grams in one month. Length is 4 inches. When he is able to go outside, I now see him attacking the grass. He is eating the Spring Mix mixed with Orchard Hay and Mazuri. He also loves cactus, and squash.

I was planning on replacing my old mercury bulb with a new Mega-Ray bulb for Milo's enclosure. I immediately was getting some high readings, so I removed it, and allowed it to burn 100 hours before re testing. At 14 inches directly under the bulb, I was getting a reading of 98 uW/cm2, which...

And he is getting into trouble.... He is ready to go back outside, but the weather is too cool. I hear him scratching, and will let him out in the room, for a short walk. This how I found him this morning!

Warm day here in Florida after a couple of weeks of cool weather. Milo is enjoying his outing:

No, it was not intentional! Today was a beautiful day in Florida. I decided to take Milo outside for a short trip around the yard. I do have a mini dachshund, and I checked for poop ahead of time. I sat in my swing, and watched my little guy, who is now 2 months and 24 days, and weighs 115...

Today in Florida it is 82 degrees and cloudy. Outside: 105 uW/cm2 My screen porch: 10 uW/cm2 Sulcata's Powersun 100W Mercury Vapor @ 14": 25 uW/cm2 Bearded Dragon's Arcadia D3+T-5+12% with reflector @ 20": 83 uW/cm2 Even on a cloudy day, outside is always best for UVB:cool:

I have a two month old Sulcata. I live in Florida, and will let him outside in his enclosure for 1-2 hours max. What is the acceptable temps? Should I put him outside for that length of time if the temperatures are only 75 degrees? Right now, I have a pouting baby that wants to go outside. ):

It has been 4 weeks since a got Milo. He was 37 grams, and today he is 53 grams. Still nervous about raising this little guy. His temps in his indoor enclosure is good, but humidity stays 75-80%. I soak him 3 x daily. He is outside for one hour and seems to enjoy it. Eating and pooping good...

I have a sulcata hatchling which I bought on 9-18-13. He is still small at 47 grams. I take him out 2 x daily for 30 minutes to run around in the yard. He loves it!!! I am in the process of building an enclosure with landscape timbers. I live in Florida, and our temps and humidity are good...

Has anyone used this? The directions state that it will mix up into a gel. I was just wondering if it would be ok for a new sulcata hatchling as a supplement.
