Oh, you should start one.
You'll get plenty of responses here.
Half our American members have Sulcatas. :)

That´s why I`m here :D To learn about my torts. And since I have been registered here I have learned a lot ! In Germany only a few people have the knowledge about these torts.
What should I write in an own thread ? I could describe the developement of my torts. Upload pictures of them. But the knowledge I got from this forum.

Yes ,development, but mostly it would be nice to just post pictures.
And then people would ask you what they wanted to know or post advice.
I think there's a sulcata photos thread.

Yes. there is a sulcata photo thread but my torts are still babies. But they grow so fast. I got them only 2 months ago, but I can see that they have grown in these 2 months. And when they eat like little elephants I`m happy.
I have read in the forum threads how quickly they can get ill when they are kept wrong and can also die.

I over winter Elsa just as you do Tidgy, Adam. This morning's breakfast was a nice handful of sow thistle, Mazuri with pureed pumpkin and opuntia chips in it, cucumber and a late season hibiscus blossom! Elsa SPECIFICALLY like the RED hibiscus: NOT orange, NOT yellow and NOT purple, thank you very much!!! :confused: Only the RED!!!!! Now it looks like I have TWO picky eaters!!!!! o_O

Yep, if they're raised badly, disaster can occur, but if you stick to the care sheets and advice given here, you shouldn't have any problems.
They're eating well, so they'll grow to half the size of elephants, too! :)

Wow Elsa looks fine. And I believe that she thought that this is a good day to be a tort !
What a lovely picture !
You over winter her ? If you would write this in the german tortoise forum, the members would "kill" you.....:(
But I understand you. I have had two greek tortoises as I was a child. They never hibernate. They lived free in our house. Many happy years. Up to the day when my mother used poisen against ants in the house. My mom did not know that the poison would kill the torts, but it did and one died. Very sad.
