    CL adoption need

    In a previous listing he said he didn't want anything for them just a good home. I might shoot him an email and be a last resort or maybe a foster home if need be. Really hard to see such a good looking pair go.

    CL adoption need

    I saw these on Craigslist the other day and the owner seems to be getting desperate to find a home for his Sulcatas. I would but am currently in the process of adopting a 65lb sulcata and am having to retrofit my yard to house him. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/pet/2543069125.html

    How big should they be?

    They must all grow at different rates. I have two Sulcatas, one is 9 months old and 4 1/2 inches, the other is about 5 months old and 2 3/4 inches. The little one doesn't seem to be growing as fast as the oldest did, but they are both eating.
