Hi Jacobk
I am very happy to hear that, and I would like to accept your baby sulcata , but now I have two 11-inch sulcata and a German Shepherd, I am worried whether the baby sulcata can be put outside in the sun with the two older ones, could you tell me what size is the baby Sulcata ?
Hi Tom! Do you mind if I ask question related to sulcata outdoor enclosure? I’ve been planning to build one for my hatchling (2months), but unsure about the temps. I live in Indonesia, during the day temps usually 30-33’c, but I’am afraid it’s too hot. I’m planning to put him outdoor after 3pm when temps is a bit colder, around 24-27’c.
Hi! Im a new “mom” to a beautiful babe redfoot tortoise names Toby. Toby is almost 2yrs old now. We are building him a big outdoor enclosure completly surrounded and covered with chicken wire to protect him from birds or other wildlife. We live in south Louisiana so its very hot and humid here in the summer. And i plan on building Toby a insulated hide with some type of heating before he moves outdoors for good.
Hi, urgent info required. My tortoise Shelby is not well. He came out of hibernation 2 weeks ago and will not eat.
I’ve bathed him most days and had a heat lamp on him from time to time. He isn’t very responsive and looks unwell. If anyone can help I would appreciate.

Hi !
I have two leopards (pardalis babcocki) now 4 inch in size I got them exactly before 9 months when they were may be 3 months old. my question to you is that one is growing very smooth where as the other seems to have a little upper growth especially on the top middle line of scutes. The humidity in their enclosure stays around 60% in the hide and I keep them on coco coir in a tortoise table semi indoors
Hi Tom you seem like the go to guy for questions. I have multiple tortoises all juvenile. But I have a yellow footed hatching. I am using coco coir substrate but he seems annoyed by it. Is there something else I should be using due to his age?
Chanhassen, MN Rehoming:
2 Redfoot tortoises with a hatch date of Aug 28, 2021. I purchased from a reputable AZ breeder just after hatch date. I don’t know gender but I do want to keep them together. They bask, eat, hide & do “tortoise things” together.
No shell, beak or nail problems. Neither have ever been sick that I know of. They are not picky eaters.
Very friendly. They will eat out of our hands & let us give
We built the your plan night box. Well Charlie has grown to 78 lbs. When it is time to build a bigger one? At 15 degrees right now in texas and we are having trouble keeping the box at a steady temperature. We hung a small space heater to help with the temps. Is there a better way? Not sure why it is not holding the heat as good and if the fluctuation going from 71-100 is even good every 53 min?
I usually let him bask under morning sun for about 30-60mins every morning, and let him roam my parents’ lawn once/twice a week for an hour or so. Thank you for your help!
