    Dark pee..?? Help!!

    Lately I've noticed my 1yr old Sulcata's pee is sometimes a dark brown. I gave him a couple extra baths and each time he pees in the bath water and it's 'normal'.. Maybe a little chalky, but it's white. But today when I came home he peed a little on his basking rock and it's a dark brown...

    Lotion for shell...??

    Dark color around mouth?

    This is Pancake..is the coloring normal around her mouth? It was like that when I got her, and it hasn't gone away.(2 months). The lady told me that she has been outside eating grass all day and that's why her mouth was dark like that. But couldn't that be a sign of mouth rot? :/

    2 yr old sulcata average size and weight?

    Hi, I'm new to this forum. I just adopted a 2 yr old sulcata from a Tortoise rescue in Idaho back in April. I've always wanted a Sulcata and when I saw "Pancake's" picture, I had to have "her"!! She wasn't fed or cared for correctly so she definitely has pyramiding, but we are working on...
