Gupta, Asha, Pipa, and their new home

[BrinnANDTorts]

I bought myself two more baby Sullies from Tom here of the forum (thank you so much by the way ) to go in with my Gupta
I have named them Asha, and Pipa because they were both incubated to be females.
This is Asha

Asha is the angel haha She has very pretty markings, very pretty for a sullie. Really chill little baby like Gupta
Here is Pipa

Pipa is probably the most unusual tortoise..She has the weirdest spunkiest attitude for a baby Sullie. Way more attitude then Gupta or Asha..thats why there are not as many pictures.
When I pick her up she gives me a look like "HOW DARE YOU!!!" and then proceeds to struggle and kick her little feet a million miles an hour.
Idk she just gives me this look that only means one thing to me ...She is going to be a hand full. So thank you for that Tom.

Gupta and Asha sharing a piece of cactus pad

Here is Gupta..the little man that started it all

They all three live in the top 3 by 8 enclosure
Their greek neighbors live below in the 4 by 6 enclosure that use to by Guptas old cage and has been modified to by two feet and six inches tall

O wait and I acquired this from my teacher friend that is giving me the Sullie
His name is Mr. Skinkers and he is absolutely amazing.. I hold him all day long

Ahh... those pics are fantastic, but hey! They were much cleaner than that when I sent them! So glad they are settling in nicely. I love their different personalities. Its so hard to part with them for me. I kept six from those two clutches this time.

I love their names too. Asha is out my girl Bertha. Pipa is out of Chewy and their personalities match their mommies. Scooter, the father, is just like Pipa too, and yes you will have your hands full in the future.

I'm very happy for you!

This is the inside of their enclosure.
You can just see a little bitty tortoise in the back corner
I had move the humidity hide to the very middle of the enclosure right under the CHE because Asha would not stop climbing behind it inbetween the wall and hide..she could get in but not get back out lol
Its more humid right there any way.
I have two 100 watt CHE in the metal cages and one 100 watt powersun in the large black dome. Creates a 100-105 degree basking spot. Idk if you can see the seeds but I planted a whole bunch of sulcata food seeds in there around the basking area.
Stays 80 degrees all over
I love this new enclosure, its very large. I hope it lasts three years..anyone think it will last that long?

My tortoise stay pretty dirty lol they get baths everyday but right after they go back in their peat moss and mulch and get all dirty again!!
I love them , I can't wait till they get big and their personalitlies get even bigger with them.
I'm also very proud of their names lol they are just so fitting
I got Asha from the TV SHOW Outsourced (along with Gupta) and Pipa is also an Indian name
They new big male that I am getting very soon will be named Manmeet (also from Outsourced) thats not for sure yet but I really want to haha

Wow, looks fantastic! So you cut your enclosure and fit it in after all?
They look great. So nice that you have the room for them to grow...

Thanks it was really hard building cause I didn't get much help from anyone but I did it ! I had to chop off a foot off the front of it and change it from a four by eight to a three by eight. The front part was angled so that made it easier , I actually like they way it looks now more than before
Good lesson learned on just how I can fit into my room and down the hall lol
Next enclosure I build (there is always more haha) will probably have some way of coming apart and attaching and I may be able to think of a way to make it more light weight

I think that is a great plan! i wish i had the room for more then two

I have lots of outside room but very limited inside room so I can't fit much more tortoises into my house. That's okay because I don't really want too many more different species..Leopards , maybe some pancakes , I would like have one kind of like forest tortiose. It's hard though cause in texas it gets so hot in the summer
