Hello friends, I am new to this forum but I have been reading publications for a year, I am from Spain, sorry for my English, two and a half years ago I bought a sulcata supposedly 1 year old in a store (I checked its weight and it was 45g) I think that He was not even 1 year old yet. The problem is that in two and a half years the turtle only gained 69g of weight, it is in a terrarium of 80 × 45 × 45 with UVB 10.0 EXO TERRA and heat from a ceramic bulb, it is very active constantly eats dandelions' teeth mulberry leaves , grass and all kinds of herbs that I take from the field, defecate correctly drink water every day, always take a minimum bath, the temperature is 32 ° C humidity I imagine less than 50 due to the heat, but the problem is that I do not notice a noticeable growth in the turtle and I am starting to get very sad, I suspect that she may have some genetic or thyroid problem .. She looks very happy and active and eats a lot but I think that if she does not grow in a short time she does not have much hope of life ... I appreciate your answers, I try to take care of her as if she were my daughter but I don't know what else to do ... thank you.
