Currently 6 months old
5" long
264 gms
Indoor:turtle table with 100w che and uvb light, hide, coconut coir substrate
Water dish (with river rocks for safety)
Outdoor pen for summer days:
House stays 90 degrees and 65% humidity with coconut coir bedding that he loves to burrow and nap in
Feeding:
Grazing (lots of clover, wild strawberry plants, grasses), zoomed grassland pellets and mazuri, cuttlebone and powdered calcium/multivits.
This youngun acts like a toddler... Wanders around thn comes back to me as if to "check in". When a camera is present he walks ip to the lens, and when we are sitting outside he sits close and deliberately winks. Good personality.
He will use a chicken coop run and house/ramp for his outdoor space next year, followed by a designated yard of his own thereafter. Imagine the fun we will have if he stays a puppy-like fellow?
The rest of the family includes Momma, 12 kids, 8 grandkids (to date), 2 dogs, 2 cats. Others come and go (people AND animals).

. If your tort was born Feb. 14, 2012 it's not 6 months old. Please read Toms threads at the bottom of his post and mine for his great ways of keeping and raising smooth sulcatas and other good things you should know.
