I'm 23 and we have a sulcata but it was a family decision and our 5 year old daughter was a huge part of picking Maia. Our daughter is part of her everyday life helps feed her soak her check her temps etc. my hopes are that once Maia does outlive myself and Ron then our daughter will be a "pro"...

Ok don't jump down my throat for the subject line! I was quoting something I recently read that was posted by a rescue organization. I never knew Sulcatas were overly aggressive and lay 100 eggs a year... Maybe it's because I'm new to all this but the overly aggressive part really had my...

http://http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/monsoon_rs400.php Here is the mister I have. I originally had it for a rescued green tree python but he's since gone to his new home and I thought this would be perfect for Maia especially since she's 4 weeks old and if she was in the wild it would be...

Welcome to the forum too! These guys are awesome and incredibly knowledgeable [hr] Yes I will post pictures of everything when I get home :) Tom was after me too to post them lol

http://www.tortoisesupply.com/AfricanGrazerMix I'm growing this right now. I tapped PVC pipe into the substrate and planted the seeds in them going around the edge of the enclosure that way the seeds can grow and the Sully can eat the sprouts but not dig up the seeds. I have a tank similar to...

What kind of snake is she? Sorry if you've posted that somewhere else I'm new to the forum but have a ton of experience with different varieties of snakes

How large is his enclosure? You'd be surprised how much room they tend to need. As far as him not sitting still when you have him if he's between a year and two years then his activity level when you hold him will be up. Your body is warm and that alone gives him energy to move around more. I...

Aren't they awesome? I love mine,yes it's a northern :) I'll make sure I do a thread on them too

Woo ok great I can stop panicking now lol Her temp is 86 at night in her enclosure and I have a night bulb in there to simulate it being night time and the basking spot is at 98 and away from that her warm area around it is about 90 and she has a humid hide on the warm side the middle of the...

I think maybe I'm just being an overly paranoid mama but is the little ridge going from her head to the base of her tail on her shell normal it sticks up just slightly

Thank you Tom

Glad I saw this before I started out the door with my scissors! Now off to find a shovel. Great idea :)

Maia seems to really love turnip greens and collard greens one part of her enclosure so far

I have the coconut substrate in there right now that comes in a brick and soaked it and squeezed the excess water out. Is that ok or is there an impaction risk with it. The humidity gauge is between 77 and 80. Maia burrows in and out of it and doesn't seem to be eating it and her food is in a...

Thank you for the links I'm in the process of reading them :)

Ok awesome. Thank you

I've always loved reptiles, I have a water monitor, nile monitor, a uromastyx, an iguana, pixie frog, and 21 snakles of various species. Sully's caught my attention 2 years ago and I fell in love with their faces and how laid back they are out of all my reptiles I think she is absolutely the...
