Hi everyone-
I'm in Illinois & I got Spumoni around mid April of this year-
How's Spu looking so far?
I have received a lot of tips for feeding and housing from the Sulcata section and really appreciate that. Unfortunately, I don't have too much information on age (bought from a Reptile store..)- the estimate was about a year so if anyone has some insight as to whether/not age is accurate, that would be great help as well.
Otherwise, Spu is pretty active and would eats like a pig (Bok Choy and Turnip Greens have become a favorite). I've been using cuttlebone and Spu has no problem munching relatively often. Currently Spu is indoors (20 gallon tank w/ UV & basking lamp as well as a hide spot), but since weather is around 75 or higher here in Chicago right now, we've been going outside a lot more often (watching very carefully and making sure we don't encounter any areas that may be fertilized/otherwise dangerous...in the process of building him a little outdoor area and planting some more sulcata friendly grass there). I soak Spu about 2 or 3 times a week for 10-20 mins. Thanks for all the information you all share & any advice you may have!
