Hi, I have a sulcata that is 1.5 years old. He (I hope) is growing nicely and is around 2100 grams. I just had a question about what to feed during the winter now that he is so big and eating so much. I live in Arkansas and in the winter the grasses and weeds are all dead. During the spring...
Chalbi's first birthday is less than a month away!! Here are some comparison pictures!! When I first got him (I say him since too young to tell) he was around 3.75 inches and 65g. He is now a little under 7 inches and weighs in at 720 g. So proud of this guys rapid growth!! And I think his...
Mines poo has been okay also. As far as I can tell. I dont feed cucumbers everyday. He has only been home with me for about a week. He got some fresh grass from the yard today and clovers!! I have read they need more grasses and I grow grass for him.
