Thanks for the info. Size is kind of impossible to tell from the pictures so I weighed him for you and he is 172g. His shell length is about 5 inches and as for age I really am not sure how old he really is, just a round about age. I think the breeder told me her babies were about 9 months old...
I live in Gonzales, LA. How long do you think a 15ft by 15ft enclosure going to work out for me? I am thinking ill need to go bigger sooner than I think.
I see you are also in Louisiana. You weren't concerned having a 2 year old Sulcata living outside? Some people have told me not to do it because they are too young at that point but I have a 15ftx15ft outside setup already built for him when he gets a little older. I would love to put him out...
I am really surprised everyone is saying you can't over feed them. Most reptiles will eat as much as you can present to them, snakes for example would eat an unhealthy amount of mice if given the opportunity. Apparently I should give more food then? My tort would eat double what I put in there...
Unfortunately both of our enclosures are open top so I mist mine every day a few times a day since I work from home. He unfortunately isn't able to do that so he soaks more often and mist when he can. I am in the process of upgrading my enclosure now since my sully is getting bigger and I am...
Yes, I have read the care sheets but they don't specify at what age you reduce the soaking. Is 1.5 years old still considered a baby? I thought I also read that over feeding them causes them to grow too quickly and could also cause pyramiding? I will increase my soaks to daily then to try to...
So you soak daily? I am not even sure if they are pyramiding. That's why I posted the photos because if they are showing early signs I want to try to increase humidity and do what ever I need to to focus on reducing it. From everyone elses baby pictures my shells look normal but wanted to be...
Hey guys! Me and my brother bought two baby sulcata's from a lady who had a pair that breed for the first time. I was in the market for one and my brother's was just kind of an impulse buy but he is a veterinarian and takes good care of his animals. I chose this lady's hatch-lings because she...
I noticed a big change in my baby's appetite after I added a good Mercury vapor bulb to the setup. Before I was just using the UVB bulb with a basking light and he did alright but once I switched to the mercury vapor bulb things changed. I think the right light source, temp, and environment are...
