Recently there has been some requests..."Let's see your Greeks, or Redfoots or other. But there never is a "lets see your Sulcata". I think it's because they are so popular and have so many topics with many photos all ready. So here it is...

Let's see your Sulcata who's over 10 years old...
and that leaves me out...who's first?

Here is Dudley. He belongs to my sister...he's old as heck... his gular amaze me...and his fore legs are bigger than my arms. He is massive and likes to chase me...and I run fast

Hello. This is Rodney. 11 years old. In the UK, South West. He's a little pyramided (before my time with him) but we love him very much and he brightens up every day. Sulcatas aren't very common in the UK, with good reason, very difficult to emulate his environment in our wet, cold climate but we're managing it - just - with lots of regular adjustments! I love all the pictures of all your sulcatas, they have such personality. Rodney is very confident and social, prefers women, likes to 'chase' magpies ? and the highlight of our garden despite wrecking lots of my lovely plants.

Love the photos but is that oleander in your 3rd pic or something else? If so, please know it’s highly toxic.
