Care first.
Supplies with a purpose.
Find independent rescue resources, explore care guidance, and compare supplies around your sulcata’s needs.
Begin with the essentials
Our care journal covers food and water, habitat planning, and the long-term commitment of sulcata ownership. Prepare questions for a veterinarian experienced with sulcatas.
Independent Rescue Resources
A suitable home may be closer through another rescue. These links offer starting points in Arizona and Southern California, with a directory below to explore other areas. No account or Plus membership is needed to use these links.
These organizations are not presented as partners, sponsors, or representatives of Sulcata Keeper. Inclusion is not a guarantee of their services, available animals, or intake space. Contact each organization directly to confirm whether it can help with sulcatas, its screening requirements, service area, and any fees. Sulcata Keeper’s fee-free policy applies to placements through our own service; other organizations may charge fees.

Shelly H&T Gen3 temperature and humidity monitor, Ivory
A Wi-Fi monitor to compare for a protected indoor care room. View temperature and humidity in Shelly Smart Control; no hub is required. Runs on four AA batteries or USB-C power, with batteries and power accessories sold separately. Shelly lists operating conditions of 0–40°C and 30–70% relative humidity, so check that your planned location stays within those limits. This measures conditions; it does not control heating. It uses Shelly’s app and does not currently connect to Sulcata Keeper.
View product on Amazon (affiliate link)Zoo Med Repti Calcium without D3
A calcium carbonate supplement to discuss with your sulcata-experienced veterinarian. This is the without-D3 formula. Ask which formulation and amount fit your sulcata’s food, age, health, and UVB setup; do not stack supplements or assume every tortoise needs the same schedule.
View product on Amazon (affiliate link)Mazuri Tortoise LS Diet, 12 oz
A grass-hay-based commercial food to consider as part of a sulcata feeding plan. Keep suitable grasses and forage central to the diet. Review portions and preparation with your veterinarian and follow the current product label. This is the LS formula; check the product name and bag size before ordering.
View product on Amazon (affiliate link)Zoo Med TH-31 Digital Combo Thermometer Humidity Gauge
An option for recording temperature and humidity in a sulcata enclosure using separate remote probes. Zoo Med directs keepers to keep the display dry outside the enclosure. Secure probes and cables so your sulcata cannot chew them or become entangled. This measures conditions; it does not control heating.
View product on Amazon (affiliate link)Govee H5103 Wi-Fi Thermometer Hygrometer
An indoor monitoring option to compare for a protected sulcata care space. Check the exact model, Wi-Fi requirements, app alerts, operating limits, and placement instructions before buying.

New keepers also need an enclosure and a suitable heating and UVB plan. Equipment must fit the animal and housing; a generic starter kit is not a complete lifetime setup. Buying more supplements is not a substitute for reviewing the diet. Read Chicago Exotics Animal Hospital’s sulcata feeding guidance.
Our commitment
Care education and fee-free adoption guidance remain accessible. Purchases are never required to adopt or use our care education, and never buy priority in the adoption process. Sulcata Keeper is an independent educational and adoption-support initiative, not a veterinary service or a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
