@Tom i just wanted to thank you for the help building the night box. I’m using Koopas as her outdoor house and today In the 95 degree dry heat of Denver Koopa was hanging out in her nightbox with the door open. Temp inside? 68. The insulation did it’s job and my Koopa is so thankful for all...
@Tom I wanted to thank you for all your care sheets on sulcatas, directions for diet, housing, humidity, night boxes etc. I have followed your advice since Koopa was a hatchling. She’s 5 this spring and doing great. Virtually no pyramiding which i attribute to following your advice to the...

Koopa is 4 years old and I’m noticing her beak looks odd... I’m leaning towards taking her in this week to the reptile vet. Have you guys seen this before?

hey everyone
Our sulcata came to us at 2.5 oz and the size of a silver dollar. I setup his enclosure based on the recommendations on here. How does his shell look? He is about 8 mo the old now. There is a pic of him now as well as when he came to us. Tia!
