New to the forum, AND tortoise ranching.(yes from Texas)

[TortLass]

Sulcatas get big. Really big. As yours grow, you will need to make them a pen outside, although for now 80 gallons should do it. I wouldn't put them outsdie permanently until they're at least 2 years old.
Welcome to the forum.
Oh, yeah, I meant to tell you I'm from Texas too.

Updated pictures of habitat. Took away as much of the glass view by adding cactus around perimeter. They seem to like the change. New water dish as per Toms suggestion.

Good to see another Texan!

Please be aware of the size these little guys reach. Unfortunately I was not aware and am trying to find a home for my year old Sulcata. :'(

Welcome! BTW I LOVE your habitat! I want to do something similar with mine....make it sort of an indoor fairy garden like thing. Except mine will be for a new baby Greek so a bit different sort of ecosystem set up.

Hello Fellow Texan! Nice indoor enclosure, great pics!

Where in Texas do you live?

I live in Austin. Very sunny. Very dry. VERY AWESOME!!!! I'll admit there are prettier places to be, but to me Austin is gorgeous. Anyway, everything's better in Texas. I was in Luisiana recently, and at one restaurant I went to, they were really big on TEXAS stuff. Whenever they had some Texas thing, like Texas steak, Texas toast, etc., they would write Texas in all caps. They also had a full section in the menu for TEXAS stuff. That's all off-subject, but I just thought those Texans out there might like to hear it. Or read it.

I have a place just outside of Austin in Wimberley. Love Austin! Great music scene, lots of water and parks. Beautiful city.

Yes, I've heard of Wimberley. We do have a good bit of water, actually almost all my family rows on Town Lake. Austin is actually one of the top 10 places in the US to row.
