Thank you Zmaric,
Just so happens I saw another Ohioans searching for a Sulcata. I emailed him Tim's address, and now both of his adopted Sulcatas will have new homes. Allen, the other Ohians is going to join the forum as well, he had never heard of it and has kept torts and resold clean, used reptile supplies to those in need for a long time. I hope Tim in Kentucky connects with forum breeders and finds the Leopard he is seeking.

Tomorrow I will be able to put 0.2.0 next to my profile! I will be on my way early in the a.m. to give forever homes to two female Sulcatas in need. Only budgeted for one, but my wonderful husband just forced $100 into my hand and said Happy Valentine's Day, bring them both home! I so love that man! Helping out a fellow forum member as well. Dixie from Texas wants Yellow Feet and the sweet old man who took in my Sulatas has a male-female pair of Yellow Feet as well. He is hoping to find homes for some Red Feet is anyone on the forum is searching for any in good health with a moderate rehoming fee. Hard to focus on all the boring political news articles I still have left to write since my Sulcatas are waiting for me to arrive! Thanks for all your help and tips forum members!

Thank you, I am so excited. As soon as I ever get done writing, I am going to put some final touches on their enclosure, once again. Just want to make sure everyting is perfect for their arrival. It is supposed to be 60 here tomorrow, so they may even get some outside time. I just don't want to stress them out too much after leaving their present home and the care ride though. Outside time sound like a good idea, or better to wait until another warm day to let them browse their outdoor enclosure? My husband build me a huge indoor enclsoure in the tanning bed/exercise room for winter while they are still small enough to be indoors and then they have an outdoor enclosure with a heated pole barn to enter as well.
Awesome, I'm so happy for you...best valentines gift ever!

Thank you! Yes, much better than materialistic gift like diamonds. I would rather make my own jewelry from old vintage pieces anyway. I will be posting pics like a proud new parent from the minute I walk in the door and see them!
Grats on both! What a nice V-day gift!

That is a big heating bill. If you are able to move south to Florida before they get big - which means very fast - that would be excellent. I love my gentle giants and would not give them up for anything, and yes, I am a little crazy (and loving it!). Enjoy and keep up the great research.
Can't wait to see the pictures of your sullies...and the ones you promised of the Yellowfoots. By the time you read this you will be home, so hope you had a safe trip.

Dixie,
I emailed you pics while I was at Turtle Tim's house, but I noticed on my phone just now when I got home that none of them went through. They all had a mail failure notice. I copied and pasted your address. I will post all pics here. Can you send pics in a PM?
They were all adorable torts and looked to be very well cared for and in good health, active and big eaters!
Meet Babette and little Scarlet everyone! They are destressing in their new turtle table right now. They had to try every corner and arrange their Timothy Hay in their hide box just so, right now they are really exhausted. They are very healthy and hapy torts, we love them already!

Here are you Yellow Foot torts! Male and femal pair. Turtle Tim said to email or call him if interested and you two can work out the shipping arrangements.
Good luck!
Tara

Those "yellowfoots" look a lot like redfoots, without red legs....
EDIT: It also looks like two males.... Post some better tail shots for clarification!

I definitely don't know anything about either yellow or red foots, except that they are cute, lol. The guy said they were a pair, or at least that us what he was told when he took them in to foster. Dixie Paradise and a few others were seeking those types of torts, so I just shared what I could to help them out since I was making the trip. I think I have a few more pics, will post so those of you with a lot more knowledge can give better info.
Here are the pics of the ones that I believe are Red Foots.

Babette. She is concerning me a bit today. She seems to be drinking a lot for a tort. She had three drinks after she woke up. temp and humidity are fine so the enclosure conditions shouldn't be making her dry. She had a Bice long soak yesterday.
I mixes up some Mazuri, sprinkled it with vitamins and a few greens and put it next to water bowl for lunch. I also tore apart some greens and out it along their walking path. They like to follow each other around the perimeter of the enclosure after waking. They get their exercise and "find" food in a grazing like fashion. I think this encourages healthy activity and encourages natural activity. I just scoop up any unearth greens after they quit walking and go to bask.
Zamric,
About how big are they before they are old enough to tell? I dont care which sex they are, just curious. I don't want to introduce a female into the sane enclosure if they are both males. Thank you
Oops. The first pics were both labeled Scarlet, but only the first one was. Second pic n pic in next post are Babette.

With WalkingRock, we couldn't tell till he started flagging... with our other male (rehomed) WalkingRock knew he was a male WAY before we did....and again we didn't know till he started flagging and they started fighting.... Both started flagging between 7 and 8 years.
