Last night my fiancee got me a hatchling sulcata! He is 2.75 inches long. He is in a 16"x24" enclosure with cypress mulch bedding and uv and heat lights. I have worked with sulcatas before but they were all adults or subadult, never one this small. He is so adorable
Yes I am "into" exotic pets though tortoises are by far my favorites. I have worked with a variety of them but this is my first hatchling I am very excited to watch him grow over the years.
Yes I am trying to keep the humidity up and I soak him everyday. Plus I am trying to feed him a well balanced varied diet. I am going to do everything I can to keep him from pyramiding any more than he already is.
I love that last pic too, he is not shy what so ever.
