Hi everyone, im new member to forum and to owning a Sulcata Tortoise. Had the tortoise for about 2 months now and everything is good...got tortoise from a lady who didnt want him tortoise has slight pyramiding but not to bad doing my best to raise a healthy tortoise. Im doing as much research as possible to do so any help would be nice. One more thing i think she is a female tortoise from what i found out searching on the internet but not sure maybe you guys can help. Im also trying to look for a vet that takes these types of animals no luck yet. Thanks!!

Hello and welcome! What size is your tortoise and what part of the world are you in? This info will make it easier to give you tips, should you want any.

You don't have any brothers do you? I know a guy with that same last name...

He looks like he's big enough to live outside full time, especially in your area. Here is how I accomplish that:

And I let them do this in summer:

Hi Robert, and welcome to the forum!!

If you'll show us pictures of the tortoises underside including the tail we can tell if you have male or female.
