    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hey guys, I spent all day making my baby sulcata a (daytime) outdoor house. I have organic topsoil that contains: Gypsum, forest wood products, compost and sandy loam.

Is this ok for my little baby? Thanks...

If kept outside, they need a place in shade, so they don't overheat. They need water available at all times. Baby sulcatas are also tasty treats to any local predators, so the cage needs to be protected from dogs, cats, hawks and coyotes, etc.

For my outdoor torts, there are 2 things to remember. Make sure they can get out of the Sun, and make sure a stray dog can't use them for a chew toy.

I have put him on grass... he flips over because he is so small and he doesn't eat it. However, I will look into putting seeds in the soil to try to grow my own... thanks for the advice! :)
