    My sulcata keeps flipping over

    Amos, my 5 month old sulcata keeps ending up upside down. He loves to climb anything he can find, and always falls over. Should he be able to flip himself back over? I'm assuming this happens in the wild, but I hate seeing him struggle so I always flip him back over. should I just leave him...

    Amos, Omega's replacement

    So Omega is gone, I have searched far and wide, but I think the crows got him. But yesterday, my Fiance got me a brand new little sulcata, Amos. She will make a great wife. I will also build a much more secure outdoor enclosure for Amos, I don't want to repeat past mistakes.

    Is a Sulcata right for me?

    Hey guys, So I am getting very close to buying a tortoise. I have had my heart set on a sulcata for a while now. Something about them just pulls me in. My question is, I won't have outdoor space for them for about 2 years. But then I will have a nice enclosed yard for them to graze in. I...
