Meet my almost-five-month-old sulcata tortoise, Tortellini (photo attached)! He has been sick for 10 days, acting lethargic and refusing to eat. The vet gave him antibiotic shots that I administer once every three days. These seem to have increased his energy. However, he still isn't eating...

Hello! I recently adopted a 3-month-old African spurred tortoise. She is the love of my life I make sure everything is perfect, temperature ranging from 80-85F, basking spots ranging from 90- 100F, humidity at around 70-80%, and daily 15-minute baths in 80-90F water. She eats Timothy hay...

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...

Taffy loves the rain shower head and bath time soaks! Love watching them grow and be the most drama packed into the tiniest package.

Hi, is this a fungus? And is it safe?? Please help😊🙏🏻

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...

She’s been exploring ever since. I know the hide is too small, I’m working on finding a bigger one (link recommended ones welcome!) Note: I live in high desert and we take her outside 3-5 x a week and will be increasing that as possible without baking her. We will still be adding the...

I recently got a Hatchling Sulcata Tortoise. He is still a hatchling and we have him in a 40 Gallon tank with a mesh lid. I know mesh tops are bad but I cant find any other lid that allows UVB in. Im trying to look for a half mesh half glass lid. I covered all I can with foil but I don't think...

Hello again! Thank you guys for your advice on Koopa. He’s been doing fantastic and he no longer has little snot bubbles. Unfortunately now my brothers sulcata Zulu is having a little bit of trouble and I’d appreciate some advice. He’s going to the vet tomorrow. His tortoise has been lethargic...

Hi everyone, I know I only posted a few hours ago. Back again with a little update on the two babies I am having concerns with. Long story short, I popped them back into the incubator with food to ensure they are getting the proper humidity. I’m seeing that you really cannot mess with the...

Hi all my fellow tortoise lovers: My name is Mya and my love and joy, Rua, is my Sulcata tortoise. I come from the snake side of the reptile community, and have recently added a wonderful little tort to my home. I want to make sure that she is not just surviving, but absolutely thriving...
