Having never owned a sulcata and having no experience with them I am a neutral party. Having said that, I declare this thread UNofficial until there is at least one photo of our beloved King Robert III Fan posted.

Oh...ok...I get it: King Robert = "Bob"
III as in Maggie "3"
and "fan" as in fan!!

Sometimes I just amaze myself at my smarts!!!

 

[Maggie Cummings]

OMG!!! Harris so smart to create that and Yvonne so smart to figure it out! Two very creative people!...I sure didn't put it together...

Great picture's Maggie! I love that squash face. He looks like he's smiling in most of them, so cute.

He's so handsome!
Yes he is .... GREAT *** photo's ... and love the pumpkin Face pose!

I like the way Bob seems to know how important he is...he knows we are all expecting him to scale those barrier blocks, so he has an expression of "Sure I could if I really wanted to, I'm just waiting for the Food Goddess to go take a nap."

And that poor pumpkin ball sure came out the worse for wear after it got the 80-pound smack down! Long live the King!

Great shots Maggie. I don't think i've ever seen a pic of Bob with a clean face... Reminds me of some toddlers I know

 

[Maggie Cummings]

Awww come on now, his face is pretty clean in that last shot. I will admit when I look at a line of pictures like this of him it looks like he gets a lot of stuff that I tell newbies not to feed their small Sulcata. I always tell new keepers that their kidneys cannot process sugar the way ours can and we shouldn't feed them fruit. Then I print a line of pictures full of him eating stuff he shouldn't. I am hoping this a case of do as I say and not as I do? These pictures printed here were taken over a 2 or 3 year period. So while he is seen with evidence of watermelon and strawberries smeared over his mug, he didn't eat them in the same time frame. I love the squash face with leafs stuck in it, it makes me laugh. Bob is supplied food from the produce department of a local grocery store. Twice a week I bring home boxes of dark leafy greens, shavings of squash; cantaloupe and berries for my box turtles and grapes for my Sugar Gliders. So he eats a wide variety of greens that are healthy and good for him. I haven't had to pay for food for my 27 chelonia in 3 years. But of course, they've been bought out by Trader Joe's and the store is closing this June.
The son of the old man who started the store a bazillion years ago is talking about opening a produce stand of his own and every night I get on my knees and pray that happens. Then I will continue to get free produce for Bob and my other animals. I bake stuff for them from time to time trying to show my appreciation for what they do for me. They really have no clue how they have saved me.

Your camera has 3 settings for picture quality...good better and best, chose the good setting. Or whatever is the least quality setting...at least that's what worked for me. Anyhow, it's the picture quality setting in your camera...Why change your avatar? I love it...thought it was Bob at first...hahaha

 

[Laura]
