    I just wanted to thank everyone for your words of encouragement and tips. I looked again this morning and when I got home from work. Tomorrow I’ll hang flyers up in our subdivision and make a post on Facebook along with a $100 reward for his safe return... I’ll let you guys know if anything...

    That’s an awful thing to have to witness- I’m so sorry! I felt like Frank and I had a connection as well. I’d lay him on my chest and pet his head with my finger until he fell asleep. When we took him to the vet shortly after we got him, she said he was one of the sweetest and more friendly...

    Thank you. It’s not a permanent enclosure- just something I set up when the weather is nice enough to take him outside for a few hours. I felt all around where he was and even crawled under my back deck with a flashlight. Even then, in an hour, he couldn’t have gone that far unless someone or...

    Sadly, our 8mo old Sulcata, Frank, escaped or was taken from his outdoor enclosure today.

    First Tort Will Be Here Friday! Needing Habitat Help...

    Thank you! I planned on cutting holes in the lid and adding some sheet metal around the edge so the plastic did not melt, or simply cutting the lid in half and adding a mesh/wire screen for the lights to sit on/above on the open side. And yes, I will have everything ready to go by tomorrow night
