Your sulcata can't tell you the basking spot has drifted cool, or that a rich diet is quietly pyramiding its shell. baskr watches the pattern across your logs, temperature, humidity, growth and feeding, and shows you what needs attention before it becomes a problem.

Sulcata Tortoise
Basking too cool
Averaged 31°C vs the 35–40°C a sulcata needs. Check the basking lamp.

Valeurs idéales pour Centrochelys sulcata, les cibles sur lesquelles baskr évalue tes relevés.
Diurne
Active le jour
Sahel, sub-Saharan Africa
Climat d'origine. Hot, dry grassland and scrub of the Sahel; blazing days, cooler nights, and deep burrows dug to escape the heat.
Pourquoi les soins sont ainsi. This is why baskr targets a 35 to 40°C basking spot, strong UVB and a dry, high-fibre grass diet, with warmth year-round and no hibernation.
Le relevé, c'est l'entrée. Le produit, c'est repérer le moment où une seule valeur inhabituelle devient une tendance à traiter.
35–40°C (95–104°F) over a solid basking area
A cool basking spot slows digestion and, over time, feeds poor growth.
A cool side of 24–28°C with no cold, damp corners
Cold or damp is a respiratory risk for a hot-climate grazer.
40–55%, with a humid hide for youngsters
Too dry while growing drives pyramiding (a lumpy shell); stagnant damp risks shell and respiratory issues.
Steady, smooth growth, not rapid
Fast, lumpy growth from over-feeding or protein is a red flag, graze, don't power-feed.
Grass and hay-led, weeds, no fruit or added protein
Rich or fruity foods cause runny droppings and long-term harm, keep it high-fibre.
Active and warm year-round
A sulcata going cold and sluggish isn't brumating, it's too cold, warm it and reassess.
Sans danger
À éviter
A grazing lawn of safe grasses and weeds is the ideal, this is a grass-eating machine, not a salad or fruit tortoise.
Base
Occasionnel / friandises
À ne jamais donner
Compléments. Calcium (a cuttlebone to gnaw plus light dusting) and UVB do the heavy lifting; keep protein low.
Bon à savoir. High-fibre, low-protein and grass-led. Over-feeding and rich foods are the classic cause of pyramiding and health problems.
Le bon type de matériel, choisis des marques de confiance.
UVB lighting
A high-output 10–12% T5 HO tube (Ferguson zone 3–4) across the basking zone, replaced every 12 months; real sunlight outdoors is even better.
Basking heat
A basking lamp to reach 35–40°C over a solid spot, on a thermostat.
Thermostat
Controls indoor heat; adults in sheds need a safe, thermostatted heat source.
Thermometer + hygrometer
To track the hot basking zone and keep damp in check.
Heated shed (adults)
The realistic long-term housing: an insulated, heated, secure outbuilding with access to a large, dig-proof pen.
Cuttlebone / calcium
A cuttlebone to gnaw supports shell and beak.
Basé sur tes propres relevés et les valeurs idéales ci-dessus, en langage clair, jamais un diagnostic.
Basking spot has averaged 31°C this week, cool for a sulcata (target 35–40°C). Check the lamp, digestion depends on real heat.
Fruit and rich foods logged several times, these drive runny droppings and pyramiding in a grazer. Shift back to grass and hay.
Nights have dropped cold and activity is down. A sulcata doesn't hibernate, warm it up rather than letting it cool.
Very big: 60–80 cm and often 45–90 kg as adults, the third-largest tortoise species. They outgrow any indoor enclosure and need secure outdoor space plus a heated shed, so they're a serious long-term commitment.
No. They're from hot sub-Saharan grassland and stay warm and active year-round. A sulcata going cold and sluggish is too cold, not brumating, warm it and reassess.
Grass and hay above all, plus edible weeds like dandelion and clover. Keep it high-fibre and low-protein, and avoid fruit, over-rich diets cause pyramiding and health problems.
Only while small. They grow fast, and an adult needs a large, secure, dig-proof outdoor area with a heated shed. If you can't provide that space for 50+ years, it's the wrong tortoise.
