New Sully

[TortoiseRN]

Hey guys so I was just at a local pet store and they had a three-year-old maybe two-year-old sully. I a very small 30 gallon aquarium. I actually know the girl who originally purchased this little guy. it was on consignment at the store. when she first bought it I said to her do you realize what kind of commitment this is going to be? I also asked her if she realized the massive size the Sulcata gets she said it'll be fine it'll be just like having a small dog I told her if you call 100 pounds small. I even pushed her towards this forum and told her if she's going to have this tortoise she should become familiar with the people on the forum. Anyway I'm happy to give this little guy a permanent home.

When I asked the seller why she was getting rid of her. She responded because she eats too much.

She does have some slight pyramiding but I hope to slow it down/ stop it with a little TLC and a humid hide.

Wow, she looks pretty good. Glad she's with someone who understands the commitment.

 

[RuthJanice]

She is lucky you have found her..... make sure to keep posting pictures of her progress..... any name yet?

That looks like it was not taken care of properly. It looks like it should be a 1 year old..well, looks like he/she will be taken care of now...good luck to you. And great save. Poor thing...

 

[lkwagner]

She'll be double the size in a couple months good save! I love the dark ones, I have a dark one too!

 

[TortoiseRN]

Thanks guys. I think she's beautiful. My other sully is so much lighter in color. After she is done being quarantined I'll post pics of the two together. O

Thanks Mainey! I agree he/she was not being properly taken care of. I will say however she is VERY social loves to be held.
