sulcata

Hey everyone! This group was so helpful in learning everything I needed to know about sulcata’s when my guy was given to me. And everyone in here was so helpful on helping me get his enclosure up to snuff to stop the pyramiding that had started when he was a baby. I think I have stopped the...

First photo caught my eye, wondering what happened led me to the article. Never have I heard of sex causing arthritis! Anyone? Article on Sex maniac Bert

Anyone who considers Sulcatas their friend and family knows that these guys can be HILARIOUS! And their shenanigans and personalities can be as entertaining as inspiring. I watch over 9, and every day there is something! As well, the algorithm throws turtle stuff at me like confetti. So I...

Had her for lil over a year now, born last June. Got her from tails and scales if anyone knows of them, healthy baby, eats like a machine, loves to digs has healthy poops. Just wondering how the shell looks I over worry about pyramiding so thought I’d ask some other keepers who raised from...

I know I already posted this on here but just posting again to make sure everything looks okay and I don’t need to take him to a vet. I’m just concerned about some spots on his plastron and he also has some discoloration on his ears, they have been this way for almost a year and never any...

I noticed some redness on my Sulcata’s plastron towards his tail, I was wondering if this is cause for concern? Does the overall health of his plastron look okay? Will bring him to a vet if anything looks concerning

Hi there, My Sulcata tortoise is just over 1 year old. When she was bought, the vet gave us feeding instructions, which included fruit and vegetables. We soon learnt that, after some research, they require a high percentage of dry, fibrous grasses. We feed her a mix of dried grasses, but she...

I just received a baby Sulcata tortoise yesterday and although it has been very lively, overall healthy seeming - I noticed there is an injury of some kind to its belly. Attaching photos. I did some research online and have been applying Chlorhexidine to it, so far twice since I’ve got it. The...

I had to share this story with the world. We love Tom Bombadil to death, but boy is he a lot. And I wish more people knew about this issue! I don't know what we would have done without the advice of @Tom these past couple of years...

We rescued a 70lb male Sulcata tortoise that we found wandering our street last September. Our plan was to find the owner but never did, so we welcomed him into our home. We have taken him to the vet (last week was most recent) to have them check him out because he is acting super different than...

Happy Friday! Make a rainbow and sail into the sunset. P.S Model: Buttons

My 17 year old female has been acting odd the last couple of days. Walking around aimlessly, uninterested in food, and stopping periodically to dig. She is NOT a digger! A mild nester, but not a digger. At first, I just thought she was complaining about how fast it got hot this year, but today...
