Congrats. Now lets get the enclosure tweaked so he will start growing nice and smooth as he already as some pyramiding started. First the water saucer should be buried so the rim is level with the substrate. Also, you should get 1/2 to 3/4 of it covered so you can get the humidity upto 80% with ambient temps no lower the 80 and basking 95+. I too like the name Taco. At the bottom of my post if Toms threads. They will help with getting everything right for raising him nice and smooth.

I agree with burying the saucer. Also, add some plants to keep the enclosure interesting. A simple plexi lid will trap the important heat and humidity.

Thanks for you response & help people! We may have chose a completely different name now, but will keep you updated! So difficult!
Leaning towards 'littefoot!' (Land Before Time) if anyone remembers that film! :-D

My youngest sulcata is named littlefoot! But I do like the look and sound of taco for yours... I think taco would be a fitting name.

I think littlefoot is adorable!! I loved that movie when I was younger. Personally I wasn't much on taco but Terra was cute as well. ((My nick name is Syd my name is Sydney)) :p
