Hello a new Sulcata baby owner from Colorado

[bell87]

My night temp is 80 overall but the basking red light keeps that area hot around 100 night 105 day I just switched his enclosure to a tank to hold humidity I'll work on a bigger better one tomorrow. Ambient right now is 81F

Ok that's not too far we may have the same stuff I know we got cactus and stuff...

Seems like temps were easier with the open top but humidity is tough but in CO there is no such thing anyway so I'm thinking of the best option for my tort best interest at this age. Adult size he will be hardier so I think those options will be easier but I want to make it that far he deserves a long 120+ life

So do I go with a tank and sacrifice space for humidity, use a open box or tort table and lose humidity and soak daily (even though the soaking is my plan either way), until I can build the optimal hatchling/juvenile enclosure with the right POTZ and all the trimmings....

hi Everyone..
I am new here and I am an avid fun of tortoises. I'm from the Philippines and looking on how I can get my hands on a Sulcata or two of them perhaps to avoid loneliness.. Can anyone help me

 

[bell87]

I have no idea Vien... You live in the Philippines? Do you have pet shops?, or you can go online to purchase them from a reputable source close to you.

Sulcatas do not get lonely. In fact , they can get very aggressive with each other. Better to raise them alone.

You food mix looks good just remeber variety is key. Small amounts of chopped up grass should be as easy add for you. Also mullberry leaves, broad leaf plantain, thistle, etc. Here's a good link:
