Hi Yvonne! Yes it's me....lol. I am soooo in love with the scute patterns. I was wanting to get a couple Sudanese but my husband wasn't all that crazy about it. We've down sized since the galops girls are out on breeding loan and we took a break from the club for a year. But the yard is so lonely looking. My redfoots are my biggest tortoise now.Sharon, right? I see you love the aberrant scutes too. I'll be watching this thread to see these beauties develop.
(Don't forget - sulcatas hatch during the monsoon season. You'll be doing them a favor if you keep the substrate wet)
They are the wildest patterns that he has ever had hatch! An irregular scute here and there...but Nothing like these. One isn't all that wild but I like things in even numbers. [emoji6]That is the coolest thing I've ever seen! Obviously I don't get out much, but still.... that is the coolest thing I've ever seen!
Thanks Tom!! I found several of the articles but not the pictures. I am Thrilled to see the vision cage one! [emoji847] I have one just like that and then I have one that is 6' long for later. Just have to move the beaded lizards into the bigger one which I already had planned to do. I'm using a terrarium right now since they are so little. But was told these guys grow fast?Hi Sharon!!! Hi Tom!!!

Please feel free to share your extensive experience and argue with any of this! That would make for and awesome discussion thread. And next time you come up to see the girls, come over and see me too! Or we can just have a tortoise party at C&As place again.
Yes Yvonne...I have raised redfoots in high humidty along with radiated tortoises and it's been awesome.Sharon, right? I see you love the aberrant scutes too. I'll be watching this thread to see these beauties develop.

LOL...That is the only season we have them. I wanted the Sudanese but. I'm my hubby wasn't thrilled about getting into sulcatas again. But when he saw how crazy these hatched out he couldn't resist bringing them home. [emoji6][emoji1]Wow! Look at those crazy patterns!!!!
Hi everyone...Returning here as we have just got 6 new hatchling Sudanese sulcatas.
They are pretty special and would like to share their growth and see comments and opinions you have on them. [emoji4]
I'm particularly interested in the closed humid hide method of Tom's.
Thanks!View attachment 252261View attachment 252262
