    How much to feed 80 pound Sully

    I like your idea on building an enclosure however it would only give him 1000sq feet of room. Is that ok for an 80 pound man. We are moving in 2 years and looking at 5 acres so it will not be forever.

    New sulcata mom

    They came home 2 months ago from a breader in Arizona. I do have them together, I did not know that was bad. The zoo in NM has 3 together. They do not fight and they like to sleep together. I will work on another enclosure, if that is what is best.
