Sulcata Be Kidding Me
New Member
3 days ago, I adopted/rescued a 6-month-old sulcata -- we got him from a relative who rescued a pair from a bad home.
He is 5" long and about 3.5" wide. He's in a 40 x 24" enclosure with wood sides... and is OBSESSED with scraping at 2 of the corners. Not digging down, trying to tunnel out. The other corners he leaves alone. He has a covered, humid hide and a little log dry hide, he walks around just fine, and then suddenly- back to attacking the corners. Is this normal?
(Note: I'm doing a crash course in sulcatas here. Yes, it would have been very nice to have had time for a "what to expect when you are expecting a sulcata" tutorial BEFORE he got here, but, as rescues often go, this one was a bit of a surprise. Please feel free to correct me if I'm doing something ridiculous, but please be kind-- I promise you this is a better home than the one he was in at first.)
