(The Boulder was posted here last year but the forum was unsure exactly but leaned towards female) So Bowser is around 12 inches in length and around 4 and a half years old and The Boulder is 10...

(She grew faster than I expected) I am planning on getting one of the fancy front opening exo terra natural terrariums but I am not sure which one to get.

    Input for my outdoor sulcata house

    So winter is approaching and I don't think Bowser will be able to handle another winter spending a good chunk of his time in his old tortoise table.

    So its been two weeks roughly since Bowser was taken from me and I have contemplated on replacing his absence in a year or so.
