Shots for sulcuta tortoise?

[Antoni]

Hey everyone. So ive settled in with my sully, but a question came up and i wasnt sure about the answer. Do i need to take him to the vet and get shots or anything like that to ensure his health? I do the proper living precautions for him already as far as food, lighting, heat and moisture/humidity. Lemme know when u get a chance guys. Thanks

No, there are no shots/vaccines for tortoises.

no shots what so ever for tortoise. Not like dogs and cats.

Sometimes inexperienced tortoise vets want to give them "vitamin" shots, because that is what the handbook in the back says to do.

Don't. Politely decline and then go home and start looking for a vet that knows tortoises.
