    Trumans new house!!

    My tortoise did the same thing with his log type hide I wa's home thank goodness but fear that he would do it again while I was gone caused me to pull it out. I replaced it with a plastic storage tub, just cut an opening in one end and so far so good.

    How to transform a display case into a tortoise enclosure. ...

    Thank's you guys for the helpful advice and tips! Would these things apply or I guess adhere to formica (hope I spelled that right) the inside bottom I was told appears to be formica. It's solid, no cracks or chips, but left as is I'm not sure how it would hold up to the constant humidity and...

    How to transform a display case into a tortoise enclosure. ...

    I've recently acquired an old store display case it's 8ft long by 4ft wide (I didn't measure the depth) the front is a thick glass, the sides are wood, the back is glass doors. I need to construct a top for it and clean the whole thing up but it's very nice even has electricity. What I'm...

    Sulcata poop q's

    Do Sulcatas like their shells scratched??

    Great idea I'm gonna start trying that today! I don't have Armstrong outside yet, I know based on his size I should and I live in southern California so it's not too bad weather wise, but I live in a condo with a very small outdoor space that isn't safe for him. Plus admittedly I like him being...

    Do Sulcatas like their shells scratched??

    He's actually a year old now. We got him for my 13yr old daughter but after about six months I moved him out of her room into the living room and quickly fell in love with him. Now I claim him! Lol

    Do Sulcatas like their shells scratched??

    I can't wait till my Armstrong trusts me enough to let me do that. For now I rub his shell. If I go near his head he pulls it back in. Lol

    Do Sulcatas like their shells scratched??

    I had a video I tried posting with my question, guess it didn't work. But my Armstrong like to walk in circles back and forth under my end table. It's low so he has to wiggle to get under it and it rubs across his shell. I always tell him it's gonna hurt him but he will just go back and forth...
