Thanks for the suggestion. These are under the roof overhang so they are never in direct sunlight but I will check them for sure

Water source is the two stainless steel pans in the top corners of the enclosures

Each pen is 6x5. There is no lip but instead a lid that covers the entire pen. Plus the walls are two feet high at the shortest side. There are two hides in the males enclosure and one in the female so I will add another for her. I don't see myself leaving the tortoises outside in any absolute...

Enclosures are finished and the tortoises seem to love it

I am just about finished up with my new outdoor enclosure for my Russian tortoise pair. I still need to make a top for the males side and add some mulch plants and burrows but the main construction is done. Let me know what you guys think. And my baby sulcata catching some sun

I did not think this would be too small for a baby sulcata. I know he will outgrow it quickly but I had an empty one and figured it would suffice as he is only about two inches long. This is about as closed as I could generate at the time. The lights are not on the outside as one third of the...

He didnt last night but he did for a while today. Is it normal behavior for the a baby tortoise to move between the light and the different hides and just nap for a few hours?

Yvonne, it is the fluorescent tube and I switch up his substrate real quick. Will a store such as petsmart or petco carry vetericyn? Is there anything else I could do for him as I have read some articles about putting the oil from fish oil pills on their eyes? Does this sound like anything real...

Hi all, I purchased a baby sulcata tortoise two days ago from a reptile vendor. He informed me that the little guy was only a couple of months old. I brought him home and set him up in a rubbermade container. I did not feed him the first day as I wanted him to settle in. I noticed his eyes...
