    Show us your Sulcata

    Had to block my Shredder in his humid hide at night per Toms suggestion. But just look at that face peeking out making me feel guilty. He loves his hide now but still block him in as his heating pad is under there and dont want him to get chilly. I just adore this little sully.

    What do you like/love about your tort behavior and apperance

    I love that Shredder has settled in well. He is very smart it seems. After him not sleeping in his humid hide i had to "lock" him in for a couple nights. Now he goes to bed on his own before his lights even go out. He even soaks in his water dish now. I have heard him squeek one time and the...

    prickly pear catcus

    My aunt just sent me a beautiful prickly pear cactus with roots and a cutting from Arizona. I live in Ohio. Can someone please give me feeding pointers? I have a small sulcata. 4.15oz small. Any advice on how to feed to my sully and care for this cactus would be greatly appreciated.

    Wont sleep in humid hide

    Update: I felt so bad blocking him in his hide the first night but i was able to pin a rock in the doorway so he could still see out. I didnt want him to feel like he was in a tomb. The last 2 nights i have watched him peeking out at me. He then goes in the back and gets comfy for the night...

    Newbie and concerned momma

    I am a first time momma too (3 weeks now) My little sully loves dandelions,clovers,romaine,grass,rose leaves and even hostas. I have read that the tortoise pellets arent really good for them and have never heard of anyone feeding them egg. Is your enclosure closed? Basking temp should be right...

    humidity under basking light

    I have done over Shredders tank again! ☺ While i can keep the humidity and temp perfect on the cool side (80%+ and 80 degrees) I cannot keep humidity above 55-60% under the basking light. I know because the lamp is hot it will dry out faster. Is it ok? I also have a heating pad on a...
