He is a Sulcata. He is just over 3 yrs old now. He is smoothing out. He was a little bit more pyramided when I first got him. Thank you for taking an interest in him.
Wow! I’ve never seen one with a shell that colorful. Frisbee says hi from the Las Vegas desert.

Lol, Nature's Zone Shell Saver to be exact. Whether it's the misting of the shell a couple times a day, the daily soaks, or the shell saver, I'm pretty happy with the way he looks for being raised in a open tortoise table.[emoji6]He uses Turtle Wax.
Ooooo, that makes me cold just thinking about Michigan!

Ya!! I've lived here for 40 years. I'm getting pretty sick of winter.If I did not have a daughter( incredibly thankful I do) I would love to move to Florida. It's kind of funny I've always just dealt with winter, but now that I have a tortoise that's going to be huge. A warmer state is looking very appealing right about now.
We are loving it in Vegas! Moved here about 8 yrs ago from Texas after living there for 50+ yrs. Couldn’t stand that many people (DFW). the heat and that awful humidity. Vegas is so perfect for the humans and the tort!
Ah, now we know who is our resident jokester!

Hello, Sheldon was roughly three years of age twords the end of December 2017. When I got him back in my custody (long story lol) he weighed 1 pound at a little over two and a half years old back in last October. So he's gained a little over 5 lb in the last 7 months. When we first got him, the breeder had advertised that they were raised humid. I believe him getting a good start in life significantly influenced his shell growth. I just spray his shell down with water a few times a day, soak him daily for 20 to 30 minutes. I also add a little shell conditioner called Nature's Zone shell saver. It's kind of a glorified coconut oil. He's always had kind of a pretty shell with out it.
Woo Hoo! Look at those legs!!
