Incredible , if they had captive sulcatas that dark in color I would snatch them up in a heartbeat. I love the darker coloration

I bet some of those were once captive, did anyone else see the '5' written on the front of the sleeping sully? I love learning about them in the wild and let me just tell you, I was drooling at those pics, that place is just beautiful. I wonder though, with our cooler weather sulcatas being out all during the day, do you think maybe they are actually more comfortable than in their own natural environs?

Oh no! Captivity is a horrible blight and completely cruel in every way. All animals should be left in the wild no matter what. No animal could be comfortable, much less happy in the prisons we impose upon them.

On a related note... does anyone know of any research that has explored what other species use/share burrows with sulcatas?
