Update Christmas 2016:
Weight: 8984g (19.8lbs)
Couple of behavioral questions:
1. When it's cold and he doesn't feel like coming out, how long can a sulcata go without eating? It's happened before where he just stays in there for 4-5 days. Should I force him out and feed him, or just wait for the weather to get better?
2. I feel like when I feed him with a spoon, he recognizes the spoon's color and eats the food. In terms of amount, I can confidently say he eats 15x more when fed then when the food is just lying around in a dish. Not only does he step on his own food and ignore it 80% of the time, but he doesn't eat as much. If I were to feed him everyday, he'd eat easily 15x more. Is this normal?
3. Again back to #1, how long can these torts go without food, during the winter, that is?
