Thanks for the update. She looks great!

Thanks Tom, I was wondering how Chief compared to her siblings in growth. Looks like they have very healthy appetites as well. Will you be holding any back from this batch?

I think the parents are gorgeous. I love seeing grown sullys with the sloped backs. Very hulk-ish.

Thanks.

your one month birthday cake of pumpkin wrapped in grass has to be the cutest thing i have ever seen!!!

He sure is a cutie!

I love the birthday cake!

Creative cake!!

Heres a glamour shot of Chief this morning before his afternoon soak. He's almost 2 months old and more than twice as heavy as the first pics I posted on this thread. I noticed his egg tooth his gone and he's starting to look more like a tiny adult and less like a hatchling.

Looks just like Sue man baby Sulcatas are cute

You have a very cute lil tort.

They sure do grow big fast!

They do! I can't wait until he/she is big enough to live in the big-kid pen. I worry so much when they're tiny like this.

Our little Chief is now 3 months old!!!

She's still eating well and is very active. Her weight gain has slowed down a bit, I suspect due to the weather, but she's still steadily gaining. She weighed in at 97 grams this morning. Here are her most recent pics.


Breakfast.




She loves her soaking time.

...

I'm in love!!!

So, Chief is just under 4" now at almost 6 months old.

When I was soaking him this morning, I noticed the growth of his gulars. They're still teensy weensy baby gulars, but I can see some definite develop on that part of the plaston. Waaaaaaaay too premature to read too much into this, but I will anyways . Until I'm proven wrong (and there's a good chance I will be in three or so years from now. LOL!), I will be referring to Chief as a "he." Overall, he's just looking a wee bit more masculine than feminine. Here's a close-up of his gulars. I'll take some cute overview shots later this afternoon if I have time. For the record, he did not appreciate me flipping him to take this picture and pee'd everywhere.



Thoughts?

Show me the vent. Gulars in an immature animal are not a good indicator. Remember seeing Bert, Scooter's brother? He had tiny gulars until he was around 9 years old, and even today at almost 15 years old they are still half the size of Scooters, and only slightly more noticeable than a females.

Incubation temp was 88.3 F. That "should" produce mostly females, but it is certainly possible that you got a boy. I love that I will eventually get to find out!

I didn't hold back any from this bunch, but there are a few around. Some other members have them and post pics and weights from time to time. I leave it to them to chime in if they wish.
