I have a 3 year old sulcata that is 16'' long and weighs 18.6 pounds as of almost two weeks ago. I read a LOT of different tort pages and see people saying things like my Sulcata is 14'' long and...

    Meet Daze and Dizzel

    Stopped growing?

    Well Darwin was growing by leaps and bounds but she hasn't grown ANY in the last 3 months. She must be a rare dwarf sulcata. Haha! She has topped out at 13 inches and 11 pounds. I have done nothing different so I don't understand why she stopped growing???

    WOW! My hat's off to you guys!

    My Darwin and I have been productive members here for about 2 years now? Before I rescued Darwin, I knew NOTHING about torts. But luckily I stumbled onto TFO on day one. I received help and information from so many that helped Darwin and I get on the right track. @Tom was a huge help in...
