    Getting Started - Enclosure

    Looks good so far. My suggestion would be to take the plants off of the blocks. Your sully will try and plow through them and they could fall on top of him. Mine are only 30 lbs and some days I come home to the patio furniture moved.

    Activity in the AZ summer

    They really do slow down in the AZ heat. Mine come out first thing in the morning and then in the late afternoon also. Don't worry about where they lay. As along as they have shade they will lay wherever they want. Sometimes mine are on the patio, under one of the trees, in their house...

    Sweet Pea Shrub

    I was wondering if any one knows if a sweet pea shrub AKA petite butterfly AKA polygala fruticosa is safe for sulcatas. It is a drought tolerant plant and is a native plant from South Africa. I have looked all over and I can not find any info on this one. Thanks in advance.

    Coyote Problem

    My husband and I just bought a new house. The day we closed on it we drove over there and laying in the backyard was a coyote. When it saw us it just jumped over the fence like there was nothing there. Living in Arizona I know that we have coyotes but we have never had an issue at our current...

    A case of the cuddles.. Normal or not???

    Speedy and Flash are 2 (in fact today is their birthday) and they still "cuddle". They have done this from the time we got them. They even work as a team digging out their burrow. They lay side by side in the sun. I hope that this continues as they get older. (fingers crossed)
