At what age do u stop humidity?

Hello everyone, So, Im finding fleas in my back yard mainly on the driveway where animal (my tort) likes to walk on. I need to take care of this small pest problem and would like to know if anyone has expierence with spraying their backyard. Will home depot/harsh chemicals hurt my two year...

Are the floodlight bulbs (as in the home depot kind and the kind you can put in recess lighting) good for for torts?

I have offered my tort (maybe 5-6 month old) the following: Spring mix, hibiscus, dandellion, and roses. All my tort wants to eat is romaine. Just to switch things up so she can get different vitamins I put the romaine under Zoo med tort food, but she still sifts through it to get to the...

How often does your tort eat?

Since my last post I have had no problems with mud butt and also two days later I found a uriate.

When you guys/gals/tfo members say grape leaves, do you mean any specific? Purple or green grapes? Or will any do?

I give her Romaine lettuce but she eats a little bit and that's been for two weeks with on and off grape leaves and hibiscus leaves. She is outside in the grass most of the day so I also assume she eats grass. I soak her every night.

Okay so my possibly 5 month sulcatta keeps having like mud butt ( do you guys need pics). On her tail I notice like her tail/butt has dark kinda like mucous discharge. I rinse her off when I notice and it's been like everyother day. What is it and should I be alarmed.

So......I have looked through the threads and either Im reading to fast or cant find it, but thoughts and rules on soaking please. My sulcata is 14-18 weeks old. How often? How long? What temp? How deep? What time?

As of yesterday, I now have a new member to my family. She (i think) has no name yet, so she can be named accordingly. She actually choose me. She is probably 15-18 weeks olds.

Police Officer. I work three days 12.5 shifts. For the last year I have been working a weekday day shift, but wishing I worked graveyard for the summer. Carrying over 20lbs over gear in a all dark wool uniform is hot.

Thanks guys for all the info. I will ask the seller all the questions you guys (when I say guys I mean all in general as well as the gals) have told me to ask. No my sulcata will not go outside just yet, It will be indoors in a tank I have with regular outdoor sunbaths. I just need to get all...

RE: Sulcatta tort Name is Elias. I found a "guy" (Says he is a breeder) on craigslist who is selling Ivory sulcata's 4-6 months for $60. I have been doing my research and I should be ready to buy soon. I just have to get my backyard ready by putting bricks down by digable/escape areas. Where...

RE: Sulcatta tort Thank you. I just wanted to make sure there was no weird cross over gene where the tort is in danger.

Hello, So i have been looking into buy a sulcata and I spoke to a breeder to told me that his have the ivory gene. What is the ivory gene? Thank you all

I have updated my information, but I also do go by Jedi. Is there anyone in the Southbay that would be able to guide me? I say adopt, because I would rather give one a home that someone just cant care for them anymore before they do something bad.

Hello everyone, I love my two red ear turtles. I have had one turtle over 15 years and the other for about eight years. I now would like to add to my turtle family by getting a tortoise. I live in Gardena Ca. (South Bay eight miles from the beach). I have the space for an outdoor pen and I...
