3-4 month old babies! (give or take, some are closer to 4-5 months) sulcatas available :) (Phx, AZ)

Hello!! I wanted to ask, Is it fine if i use Coco bark as the substrate without adding other substrate? and is it safe to use UVA Exoterra Daylight basking spot for Sulcata? Or can u recommend me UVA brand that are safe for sulcata?. And please recommend me a uvb lamp that is not too expensive...

My name is Jack I've been a member since October 30th 2022 which is also when i got my boy/girl (no idea) Kresh. Kresh is a Sulcata tortoise which they say he was around 3 weeks old when i purchased him from a local reptile zoo. I've made his birthday on Halloween cause I'm not sure but that's...

Sorry I didn’t realize I’d clicked on the wrong tortoise type and now I don’t know how to change it lol. When we brought Taffy home beginning of June they weighed 69g and had signs of pyramiding. Today, Taffy weighs 107g, loves daily bath time after outdoor enclosure time as well as shell...

Is this a good cage or whatever u say it for sulcata?? Im using uva exoterra 25 watt, is that ok? or what uva should i use? And what substrate that are good for sulcata? im using coco husk right now And I need help to raise humidity. I always spray the coco husk with water but it didnt raise...

My sulcata has just officially been moved outdoors. I would like tips and things that are recommended for me to do. enclosure wise and if anything should change. as in keeping away from bugs/what to do for rainy days etc. Just the typical. Should i be afraid of bugs getting near him?

This is probably a extremely stupid question but can my torts heat lamp bulb be too bright?

My 3yr old sulcata is opening his mouth and when he closes it theres some sort of crunch? or it sounds like hes biting on something hard but when i check theres nothing there. Im not sure if he needs a beak trim. This just started last night and it hasn’t seemed to stop yet. I might just be...

I live in CA and the past few weeks it’s been very stormy which resulted a lot of power outages. My 6 year old female Sulcata is in an outdoor / heated shed that I built myself and it maintains a constant 80 degrees during the cold days / nights. Unfortunately, I lost power at my house for...

Chuy weighs in at 21lbs, I have been told he is anywhere from 2-20 that's quite a spread. Anyone care to help narrow it down? I have no idea how to measure a tortoise; I gathered length, width and diameter. Weighs 21lbs Width is 20" Length is 19.5-20" Diameter is 32"

Hi all, It’s that time of year again… yep fall… and with dropping temperatures comes the relocation of my three sulcatas into a shed with supplemental heat in the forms of lights and a heater. While checking them this morning I found a Eastern grey rat snake had nestled up with my largest...

Happy New Year from Herbie!!!
