    How long can a sulcata survive without food and water?

    I have a 2 year sulcata. After his morning soak I always let him walk around the house. In the evening I return him to his enclosure. He/she is too large to fit under appliances and furniture.

    Sulcata with dark head

    My little Zippy was a very healthy yellowish tan color a few weeks ago. The head has become very dark and today I see that the legs are beginning to get dark. Is there a cause for alarm? Background, I use full spectrum lighting 12 hours a day and a white heat lamp bulb for 12 hours...
