Rescued sulcata

[Smazril]

Hello all!
I have recently taken in a young sulcata. For now, I call her a she. Her name is Terry. She started life with folks who weren't prepared to support her. We live in Central Oregon and the person I picked her up from had taken her in before he knew she wouldn't hibernate. She has a Saddleback and pyramiding. I am a CVT but don't have much experience with reptiles. I will take her to work for accurate measuring and weight check. I feel as though she is small. So far she is a happy gal with grass, sun, and warmer than 60 degrees to sleep in! I'm excited to help her thru this time. Technically, I am fostering her. But everyone who knows me knows I've adopted!

There is no such thing as "fostering" at my house either how about some pictures?

Welcome to the Forum!

Depending upon how young/small this new tortoise is, 60F might be too cool at night for it.

Well... She has of course just been coming inside at night haha! She has a small indoor set up for nights. I will have to revamp it over the next month as our winter starts to move in. She is 10 inches long and 6 inches wide. She has a doctor check up Thursday just so I don't miss anything as a newbie!

She has definitely had a hard start in life but now she has a great home. Give her everything she needs and she'll be happy.
