Rescued this sulcata three years ago from a friend who could not keep it, he has grown very fast in three years. Moving to go to Graduate School and cannot take him with me. Male, beautiful shell about 11 inches. I live in the Pittsburgh PA region and if you are willing to meet in person to get...
Does it have to be a picture of my turtle? I took a picture and I think its a great picture and would like to submit it, but it is a picture of a wild turtle and not my own turtle. Can I submit this to the contest?
It's 4 feet long and 2 feet wide. It will have to do for now because thats all the room in my house I have for him! He will have a much larger outdoor enclosure soon so this will only be for sleeping in at night. I haven't heard him complain yet! My cats do love it but when tort is done with it...
Got the enclosure in the house and set up today! My other cat Lilly approves!

Places some plants, aloe, geraniums, and a nasturtium.
Then added the...

For right now it will be my main enclosure, I live in Western PA and I try to get my tortoise outside everyday but half the days its raining and the other half its too cold! I cant leave him outside in the rain currently because I am using a kiddie pool for his outdoor enclosure. We are soon...

People cake! (Ice cream cake!)
Tortoise cake! Made from mazuri with clover petal sprinkles and calcium dust.
He loved it!
His birthday hat...
Using http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/the-mighty-odins-indoor-oasis-the-build.128248/ as an example I decided to build my own indoor sulcata inclosure. The base is made of plywood and 2 by 4's and the top of the enclosure is a greenhouse I bought on Amazon.com. My dad appears in a lot of my...
I used your enclosure as an example to make my own! Mine is not as big as yours but it should be good enough for another year or two, then Ill just use it as an actual greenhouse!
Wow your enclosure is great! I have ordered my greenhouse and am going to work soon to make my own sulcata a fabulous home like you have. If you had anything you would do differently what would it be? Also, I am worried about my little guy digging into the plastic and making holes in it. He is a...
