I just recently got a sulcata and read all of Toms information on how to keep a young sulcata thriving, so now I'm just wondering if he looks healthy or not? Given that I've had him for only a couple of weeks and he is getting proper care at this point, I'm just unaware of what they should look like at this young age! Oh and Crush is his name, he's about 3 months old. ImageUploadedByTortForum1386649513.137410.jpg


Or so I'm told on the age part

Hello and Welcome:). He looks fine too me. Love the name. Keep him hot and humid and lots of water, good diet and you should have a healthy, smooth sulcata.

Welcome to the Forum!! I know it's pretty hot there, but most of the Sulcatas I've seen look pretty darned good. So I'm guessing you live is a very good place for raising a sulcata baby.

It's winter here! I live up in the mountains of AZ so it doesn't get as hot as most places and we have an actually winter with snow and cold! But he gets all the right care so he'll look good!:)
