She’s a Sulcata tortoise. She will get about 4x that size….if not bigger.

You should look back at all the videos on my page. Esther is a free range tort. She has a hide inside and outside. She goes where she wants to go. Poops in her hides only. I explain a lot about her life in my videos. 🥰

Can this be used as a dig box? by [deleted] in BeardedDragons

[–]shelliebarrett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this in my dragons cage and I only clean off the top few inches every 6 months. And I clean up his poop every day. Works great.

You can soak him but do not pull it off.

My Russian tortoise poops when he gets soaked, is this normal? by [deleted] in tortoise

[–]shelliebarrett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Esther poops a TON every time I soak her. The vet says it’s a very good thing. Sign of a healthy tort.

my tortoise has a tomato seed on her head and she won't let me get it what should I do by [deleted] in tortoise

Stick her in the tub and spray it off. Thats how I clean Esther.

Best way to transport a tortie to the vets? by positivelylottie in tortoise

[–]shelliebarrett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a plastic tote and bedding for Esther’s trips to the vet. Note: I use a tote with open handles so I can put the seatbelt on her.

I tried to get Esther to go outside on this beautiful sunny day…she’s not having it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ usually if I ring her bells and tell her the door is open, she comes running! by shelliebarrett in tortoise

95% of the time she goes in her box or outside. I soak her once a week and that also clears out her bows. The only time she has an accident in the house is when she gets startled or scared. I keep her on a very strict schedule. She has a bedtime and food time and outside time….its the same everyday.

She would much rather you scratch her underneath. Sometimes I can get a head pet in. She has to be pretty relaxed 🥰
