Tortoise Pierre
New Member
Hi there! I am fairly new here and have been reading up and am worried about my Sulcata. I see all these smooth shelled tortoises and wonder why mine has never looked that way! I just want to make sure I am caring for him the best I can.
The picture is him from a week or two ago. I have been spraying him now because I know he needs more humidity, and will post a more recent photo tomorrow.
The original buyers said his substrate should be hay, but about a month ago I changed it to orchard grass hay and he seems much happier. I have a UVB light and a basking bulb and he has constant access to water.
I'm also building him a tortoise table/enclosure for outside so he will have lots more room to roam, and I can I've him humid areas with different substrates. If anyone has any tips on what's best to do this, please let me know.
I apologize for everything in this one thread! You guys are all so kind to answer everything, thank you!
