This Sulcata hatchling was produced by a friend of mine and he gave me permission to share the unique shell pattern! I thought it was very interesting!

Very interesting. Do you think we can get an update on him as it grows? I would think because of its uniqueness that you friend will not sell this one, right?

I seen it for sale on line.


Does this friend live in Florida too? I heard your friend is posting it for sale. Is that true? Reason why I'm asking is because I would like to purchase it. Can you speak to him?

Interesting, and thank you for posting. Are you able to inquire and ask about incubation temps/RH? I'm very curious.

* He does not reside in Florida, I just spoke to him and he related that it is about two months old and incubated at 86f. It is not currently for sale.

* Also, the picture was taken yesterday!
