Not a sully owner, but a cheerful wave from Washtenaw! We have leopard tort. Rumps is 8" and has a 12' x 12' pen outside. He comes in the evening.
Winter - we are trying to find a way to maximize is roaming area in the house.

Rumple, our 7 yr old leopard, has been home with us for just over a month now. He's put on ~80g. We can see new growth lines. Are they supposed to be slightly raised? Or is it pyramiding?

Rumple would prefer to eat all day, and I let him. He gets a "Breakfast" after his soak - organic greens, and a succulent 2-3 times a week. If the weather is nice, he gets to graze in his weed patch all day. If not, he gets "Elevensies" and "Tea" - smaller helpings of greens & wheat and oat...
Awesome!!! Lucky for the both of you. My outdoor Tort paradise has been postponed as we have had some unexpected house repairs do damage on the budget lately. :(
Welcome!
This is a great place to get the advice and know how!
Here is an (unsolicited) piece of advice: Consider an older tort, especially if you haven't been a keeper before. It surprised me how hard it was to keep the humidity up in the habitat and if I had a hatchling, he would not...

I foresee a meetup! I was bemoaning the fact that we don't have anything like the CTTC here in another thread. Maybe we can start the MTEAPS (Michigan Tortoise Enthusist and Anti-Pyramiding Society) or maybe just call it the cult of Tom ;). Lol
