How to Set Up Your Baby Sulcata Tortoise Enclosure

[@nsawyer1984]

My son just got a baby sulcata tortoise and I’m researching as much as possible to make it (gender unknown) comfortable and stay healthy… this was the most helpful, straightforward, and inexpensive video I have found!!! Thank you so much!! #NewSubscriber

[@dayslee1729]

Hi just wondering how your tortoise is doing? My daughter got one for her birthday.

[@luvtortyz2177]

Little babies ❤️ I got my torties when they were 3 weeks old and they were just as tiny as these sulcatas. Now they’re 6 years old and the size of hamburgers

[@thtpeacechic]

I have the same tub setup for my one, I have it next to my patio inside bc I’m further up north BUT I was just thinking the tortoise box and put it in castors too. I’m thinking about lining the box as well. Great vid.

[@ShadowsReptiles]

thtpeacechic yea that sounds great and thank you :)

[@spartandrew8672]

Imagine how popular of a pet sulcatas would be if they stayed baby sized or close to it their whole life

[@ratqueen3298]

honestly i prefer them when theyre bigger

[@muhammadraffi3186]

there’s hermani and greek tortoise if you prefer smaller tortoise.

[@fairyyuki8082]

@@ratqueen3298 same, mine is pretty big and I made kind of like a enclosure (her own area with dirt, kind of like a pond and other stuff) and she just spends the day walking around my backyard then when she gets tired or bored (or wants to get away from the sun) she gets inside her enclosure and spends the rest of the day there!

[@Canonmentos]

I’m going to drill holes on the side of the tubs. Just in case if I’m not there and if I get busy and leave them outside and it rains I can be assured they will not drown.

[@allysreinventing1098]

Great info Thank you! Can’t wait to get my baby.

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Allyson Rendon thank you glad to help :)

[@amberiasmithsonian4107]

Very informative. I'm in Houston so I get the humidity thing. So the long ass summer weather will be great for outside time! Thanks 😊

[@hireshnaidu8424]

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Fluminox5284 - thank you 😁

[@braynhagenmomma]

Good job how are you set up that container for the tortoises

[@Shaden0040]

Place a piece of corlbark for the isopods as well as organic leaflitter. Also add some springtails.

[@marniejamil8807]

What kind of food i need to feed for the baby sulcata

[@GoingYooper]

Cool set up.

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Going Yooper thanks 🙌🙌

[@mariazarate9029]

Thank you so much .

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Maria Zarate no problem :)

[@lmc1839]

Where did you get the mesh cover? We need one badly. Home Depot didn't have anything except poultry mesh that is flimsy and I cannot get it to cover the tub due to it coming on a roll. HELP!!!!!!

[@tylerchristian07]

Great setup

[@ShadowsReptiles]

T-dog’s Random adventures thank you

[@Ilumerci]

Should you put a lid on or no? I’m probably using a cement tub too

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Strawberry & Banana if they’re outside yea just to be safe from predators

[@bigblue8986]

What type of moss is that in the incubator

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Big Blue spaghnum

[@strxwberri_milk]

I have a 40 gallon tank, would that be ok for one??

[@ShadowsReptiles]

dogsquishie400 yes just put duck tape on the first couple inches so the baby won’t see through so it won’t get stressed by the glass

[@josephsarmiento7537]

Can you keep the tortoise house inside?

[@majin1399]

Do they stink up if you have them indoors with proper cleaning and care

[@jaoism]

What temperature do you keep them at?

[@omgjoseph7931]

Any tips for keeping humidity in the tortoise box? I live in south Texas and I know those boxes don’t keep humidity too well.

[@fishstickfromwiisports3876]

I would recommend putting succulents in there to keep humidity and make sure you are misting them to keep extra humidity. Hope this helped :D

[@josephsarmiento7537]

so you cannot use reptile bark?

[@tthdavis2988]

ive been told open enclosures keep noo humidity which is really needed for them, how is the closed one on keeping humidity?

[@ShadowsReptiles]

TTH Davis you mean the wooden one ?

[@katherinedeniselara2150]

What temperature of water do you use

[@prestonsmusic5772]

Hey we live in city well more of a nabor hood what do u think we should do when there big it gets Cold here

[@big_boy_amundsen9355]

If it gets cold enough to snow you prob shouldnt get one, same goes for people with small backyards. They need lots of space. Hope this helped Edit for spelling

[@Frank1joker]

Cool!👍😁

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Frank Dominguez thanks :)

[@shrew8945]

do you have musk turtles???

[@Tommy81.519]

I'm always werry about using mulch from hardware stores or whatever instead of from the reptile store lol I don't know why but I always think there's chemicals or something bad in the hardware store mulch lol

[@davidmoctezumabernal3591]

Question: where did you get the soil and the molch???

[@ShadowsReptiles]

DavidTheStupidKid TV Home Depot

[@nixvapper]

im thinking to make tortoise house like this too ... Im living in Indonesia. i keep my baby cherry head indoor. thinking to move out like yours at patio.. what's your daytime ambient temperature and humidity ? in my place (indonesia)daytime 30-32c(86-90F) , 55-60% ; when night drop to 80-82F, 80-85%..

[@retired9131]

Thanks!!

[@nxt2nty]

I keep my indoors in an enclosure. Female is 3 years old. Male is 2 years old. How would I tell if my female is carrying eggs and/or ready to lay eggs?

[@ShadowsReptiles]

They’re hard to tell but females get anxious before laying and they’ll walk around the edge of the enclosure a lot a few days before

[@ssunflowers66]

I have my baby tortoise in a 10 gallon fish tank. If I cover the glass with a dark tint will this be a healthy habitat?

[@ShadowsReptiles]

ssunflowers66 it’s small but the yea glass is fine if it’s covered so they can’t see out

[@allysreinventing1098]

Where do I go to buy a baby Sulcata from u?

[@dferrari3215]

Isn't the wood rotting out the bottom of the Tortoise house?

[@ShadowsReptiles]

D Ferrari no

[@mountainviewvintage386]

Why does everyone talk about coconut substrate so they have humidity..we have baby desert tortoises though

[@mysticpapiknows]

Is that cabbage?

[@Xerouu]

6:52 bruh I think that’s the turkey point alarm

[@ShadowsReptiles]

ThornyGryphon 10 seems more like some ritual to me 🤔

[@juniormorales9013]

That’s the knife sharpener.

[@raulramirez1311]

Go check the give away guys 😁😁

[@jonathanormaza4092]

I yeeted my turtle into Larry penny

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Yoda death Sound effect that’s a shame

[@Xerouu]

what

[@Isis_ii]

Hi

[@mountainviewvintage386]

Always make sure the hide and other things are more in the middle so the lil babies don’t flip over😔

[@mikesreptilelair5387]

You Can’t buy that on the Internet for $98-$100

[@ShadowsReptiles]

Mike&jake Bricks buy what??

[@mountainviewvintage386]

They hate to be picked up, at least hold ‘em in palm of hand huh

[@vicentesalinas8259]

Why do some people go ape shit because other people use mulch and not eco earth?

[@ShadowsReptiles]

I HATE eco earth it always gets stuck to everything. With all the years I’ve been doing this I’ve come to love Cyprus mulch, it’s cheaper and more effective than any substrate in my opinion, and I haven’t ever had any issues with it. On the other hand I once had a beautiful rainbow boa that died because it had eco earth substrate and while eating , it pretty much shoveled a ton into its mouth and chocked up. I would only use eco earth under Cyprus mulch or mixed with something else.

[@animalcrossingnerd8142]

Stop being cheap

[@BERTO929]

Going to use same substrate. How did it work out?

[@Kathy_1724]

do you sell them
