Hello I love your vids, I have decided after really learning about sulcata's that I would like to make the long commitment to owning a few, what do you charge for a morphe?
Good stuff man! Totally agree with Cane's chicken too, where we just moved, we don't have any- so now only get it when visiting family. Have known of quite a number of Sulcatas to develope problems with the CFL type UVB bulbs. Doesn't always happen, but the number has been high enough to indicate it is fairly common. I use the tube style UVB lights, I hang the light about 10" above the substrate with no problems. Mercury Vapor bulbs works as well, but they add alot of heat and when the thermostat kicks it off of on so much, its not great for the bulb or the baby. Keep it up man! We need more good sulcata info available on RUclips. Too many people don't understand that the humidity is important to prevent pyramiding. If you're having trouble keeping it around 80%, more substrate helps, I keep my substrate around 6 inches thick with a lid on top made of aluminium foil coated poster board. I dump a small pitcher of water in there once every week or so, then just lightly spray the torts every day.
Thanks Hugh! Canes is amazing haha! CFL are terrible I agree haha. I use mercury vapor bulb with great success. I will probabaly switch to tube style that doesn’t give off heat in the spring or summer because my bulb will kick off all day. Right now it stays on almost all day with the cooler weather. Email me a link of what tube style UV you use! Humidity is huge. I spray down everything a couple times a day and also soak the substrate every week or so like you. I have an old gym mat in top to keep the humidity in. Not perfect but works lol
It isn’t good to grow them too fast, you want slow steady growth. They should also have a varied diet, my temps never go below 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Not while they are babies anyhow.
I agree. They all grow at their own pace for sure. I don’t do anything crazy but let them eat grass and mazuri. And have seen some grow as much as 5” in a year. It’s crazy
Hey dude super awesome tank! Your temps and humidity are spot on. However, why aren’t you making it pretty?! It could add such a wonderful aesthetic to your home and give the tortoises a comfortable replica of the outside. I’d love to help you come up with some ideas! Also (tip: tortoises don’t understand glass, like birds. It’s best if there is a cover up to where they can see so they understand there is a barrier there. this lowers their stress and prolongs longevity.) :) LOVE YOUR TORTS💚
Mia thanks so much! I totally agree with you, I actually put my tortoises outside as soon as I can. They will go outside in about another month when night Temperatures are good! You just can’t beat the outdoors. I just do the bare minimum for indoor enclosures >.> haha But I would LOVE your input on making my outdoor enclosure better when I move then outside. I need to start working on it soon!
@@State48TurtleTortoise that’s true, you can’t beat the outside! 💚🌳 Decorating an outdoor enclosure sounds even more fun!! Ill look out for when you post a video of it and comment some suggestions:)
If it seems down and low on energy it could be a few things. Number one would be temperatures.(environment) Ensure that is all correct. Next is hydration and diet. A cold Tortoise will not move and will die slowly unfortaubtly.
@@juanleal3468 I highlight either in this video or the video I posted about setting up an enclosure for them the ideal temperatures etc. You should check that video out and I think if you correct those couple enclosure things it could help. Also do soaks several times a week
Amen sister. I don’t only give romaine. However I will tell you I have raised baby sukcatas exclusively on romaine that were smooth, healthy, and happy tortoises. However I offer A huge variety of greens, grasses and mazuri to my babies now
Hi Karen! 2” isn’t bad as long as he has some growth lines and is growing. My smallest one that is 6 months old is about 2.5”. But they all grow at different rates! Feel free to email me some pictures of him and I could see how he looks!
It isn’t 100 percent ideal, I agree with you! But I have raised tons of hatchlings this way without an issue that all turned out amazing! It’s really difficult to find a perfect closed chamber set up to keep humidity levels high enough. Thes hatchlings don’t run at the sides very often though, the tank is much larger than they are and they will only be in here till spring and it warms up enough for a safe outdoor enclosure. Thanks for stopping by and watching the video!
First thing I see I cannot continue on you are inexperienced I assume. You cannot keep turtles in a glass tank if you must I would recommend putting tape around the bottom 2 inches the reason they are at the side is because they can’t tell it’s glass they will keep trying to walk forever. Please do more research before you try to inform others
I can agree with you, glass tank is not 100 percent ideal, but works just fine. I have found that as the glass gets dirty very quickly the animals don’t do the incessant walking trying to get out. I have raised a ton of tortoises this way and they have all turned out amazing
Thank you so much. My daughter just brought home a 2 yr old and I want to do everything right by her.
So awesome! It’s not as complicated as people like to make it out to be! Super excited for your daughter to enjoy her tortoise!
Nice vid! The baby Sulcatas are growing nicely. Can’t wait to watch them grow some more and glad to see you have over 100 subs. Congrats dude!!!
Dan, thanks so much for being here for a while!
Oh tiny toes! Great set-ups inside/out.
Thanks so much Lizz!
Mine are doing really good, your videos have helped me alot thank you!
Bruh! Glad to hear it! Let me know if there is anything you want me to make for you!
@@State48TurtleTortoise tysm!!
You could do a video series about the babies growing over the next few months and their weight each month. that would be great. Greetings from Germany
Marko, that is an awesome suggestion! I most definitely will Begjn to do this ASAP!! I like it!

Stopping by to show some love! I don't own any torts yet but this video explained what I needed thanks! We keep mostly aquatic chelonians :)
Hey thanks so much!! I’ll make sure to sub to you as well! I’m trying to get more water turtles, but fir now just a couple haha!
theyre cute if i had a backyard i would get one
Darn yeah. These guys require some space for sure!!
So CUTEEE😫 I have a sulcata his names Bean and he loves strawberries 🍓 🐢
Ahhh that’s so awesome! Bean is lucky to have someone like you who spoils him!
@@State48TurtleTortoise Awww thanks bud 💕

@@mia-lm8yz It will be coming within the next 2 months for sure!! Excited to get your feedback! Thank you for your support :)
Nice vid 👍 just bought one but seems too be a little down I’m just wondering why maybe change of environment? Let me know what you think?

Next is hydration and diet. A cold Tortoise will not move and will die slowly unfortaubtly.
@@State48TurtleTortoise so it’s eating but not too much it’s around 6 or 9 months old and around what temperatures should be good for it?
@@juanleal3468 I highlight either in this video or the video I posted about setting up an enclosure for them the ideal temperatures etc. You should check that video out and I think if you correct those couple enclosure things it could help.
Also do soaks several times a week
Very nice, even tough people says glass will stress them out. Yours seems very OK with it?🤔
Yes I have heard this often. The enclosure so large I VERY RARELY see them walking against the glass confused.
Nice video broski
I appreciate it!
Hi hi wow.. nice video.. do u soak them everyday? Do changing their enclosure affect how they eat?
As small small babies it’s ideal but usually 3 times a week or so
@@State48TurtleTortoise ooo alrite.. thanks alot.. 😀👍
Romaine is not enough, you need to have more of a variety
Amen sister. I don’t only give romaine. However I will tell you I have raised baby sukcatas exclusively on romaine that were smooth, healthy, and happy tortoises.

Also my tortoise is 5 months old and it is only 2 inches big. Is it’s size good for how old it is. Thank you

@@State48TurtleTortoise thank you 😊 I will send some pictures
Didn’t know it was okay to keep Tortoises in clear containers as it stresses them out figuring out invisible barriers

@@State48TurtleTortoise mine only tries escaping the tank when its hungry
@@RONPEE-STINGER yeah it’s not as big of a deal as it’s made out t be
I was looking to get a baby albino sulcata! Do you have any info on the best place to get one??
Shoot me an email! It’s in my about tab!
Do you know if it is ok that I raise my baby tortoise outside.
If your weather is appropriate. Outside is the best
Do you feed them lettuce every day?
I feed them a mixed diet of romaine lettuce, mulberry leaves, and mazuri torotise diet LS
Hi, how can u tell from a male or female? Thanks
You cannot tell when they are young. It generally takes several years. I will make a video discussing this topic very soon!
i have four baby map now
What is a baby mup?
map turtles mississippi
Oh I want one of those some day! Such a cool turtle! I hope to make another pond in the future as my kind of random turtles pond!
@@State48TurtleTortoise ΟΚ
