He's a baby.

when you get him he is LOL, then after 10ish years you have a 28in 130lb tank in your backyard that can topple fences lol, which is why my mom is much more keen on letting me get either another snake ex another boa constrictor or if i can afford one an albino lavender retic, or she likes lizards and would let me get pretty much any monitor or tegy, so i have breathing room there :D but she has had some bad experiences with turtles/tortoises in general, so its a hard decision for her :D

i am not a sulcata expert, but from what i have seen and heard, thats fine for a juvie, but an adult needs something a lot more secure, lol a brick wall with concrete would work, or a fence with concrete in the ground supporting it might too, but that is what i have heard lol, Tom and others know better then i do :D

Good, lol wouldn't want him to get out, i hear it has to be like 6"-1' in the ground too, for when they burrow, less chance of getting out, but not by much lol, not after what i saw toms sulcata do :D
