Yesterday I found my 3 Sulcatas dead within 2 hours of putting them in the sand and rock habitat I built for them in my backyard. It was only 90 F outside and I had a place for shade. The only thing I can think of is that I sprayed for ants around the exterior wood board perimeter earlier in the day at the grass line to keep ants away. None of the spray had gotten inside. But the Sulcatas like to put their faces in the corners. Some poison must have seeped through where the wood meets up to make the angle. It had already been evaporated. There's nothing else I can think of. By trying to protect my tortoises I killed them...they were one year old. :-(
