Thanks Richard

hahaha i was just looking at this one. frickin funny

I have not really posted on here about my Sulcata's , so here we go. The first pic is there house, i Florida it does get cold. We sometimes have winter days where I live on a peninsula that may get to 40 degree's at night. Which would be to cold for the tortoise's. Therefore I built them a nice house that is heated during the winter. When it was 40 degree's outside it was 77 inside there house, they loved it.

The next pic is Frank, The smaller one he is around 7 years old and the larger one is Sally she is about 8 years old. They are enjoying there summertime Hibiscus. I then have Speedy also posted below the smaller of the three. I have had Speedy for about 4 years. They are great animals as long as you have the space that they need.

Awesome pics!! Where do you get all those hibicus blooms for them to eat?

We have 2 Hibiscus bushes at work and I pick the Hibiscus for them 3 times a week.
Yes I know the guy that take care of the landscape and they do not get sprayed at all. This is something you have to watch for. Do not pick blooms from a source that you do not no if they have been sprayed with chemicals. Be Careful about Blooms that are near roads that my get chemicals on them from car exhaust. I am just very careful. Everyone thinks I am crazy for picking all the flowers 3 times a week , like I am going to make a salid out of them. I just tell them they are for my Tortoise's then they understand.

The pics only load half way for me (I'm on dial up...), but how much do your adults weigh? Also how do you manage vet visits? If you need one of course. Do you just load them up in your truck or something or the your vet make house calls? Also how much food do they go thru a week?

The weight of the female is about 80 lbs and the male is about 60 lbs. Sulcata's are pretty hardy animals as long as you don’t let them get to cold. Large adult can handle 50 degree's for a night or 2, but one that's like 5 lbs can not handle the low temps. I just don’t take the chance and keep them warm in the winter. If I had to take them to the vet I would just load them in the truck and take them if they get to heavy you would just need 2 people to lift them. As far as the vet bill goes you just have to pay it. They get Hibiscus 3 times a week and they can eat. They also eat grasses, like orchard grass, Bermuda and other grasses. They love cactus and greens. I let them out in the lawn to eat also therefore I can not spray any chemicals of any kind out there. I buy orchard grass in 50 lb boxes from oxbow. The 3 I have can eat a 50 lb box in a month, plus all the other things I feed

Thanks Richard

Cool, thank for the answers.

Beautiful Sullys!!! Wow so nice to see them cared for so well!!! Someday I will have a Sully!!! For now just our RT & BP &...... We live in Colorado and it will take much land and money to be able to house one "properly", so until I have the land and money, I will just keep admiring from afar. Pretty flowers too!!

It is frustrating I see so many people here in Colorado getting Sullys and putting them up for adoption because they did not do their research. It is sad!

Peace!

They are just beautiful! How big is their enclosure and house?

There enclosure is 24 x 24. They really have plenty of room in there. Plus they have a hole that goes atleast 10 feet straight back and down at a 45 degree angle then turns just alittle for now until they decide that want to make in deeper.

Thanks Richard

nice sullys!
great group you got!
