My redfoot Murphy hates me, and he has a real attitude. Will throw temper tantrums when he doesn't like something. He's also a really picky eater. My younger Redfoot Marge is pretty care free. Doesn't get fazed by much at all, and will eat literally anything.

He's been known to flip a plants in pots over. Last week I seen him ramming the wall in his enclosure repeatedly for no reason. I think it was because he had to come inside after being outside all summer lol.

My 3-month old WH cracks me up something awful! He struts around his enclosure as if he owns the place. Wait a minute, come to think of it, he does own the place! ?

I have a Sulcata, 12 years old. Very stubborn. Very friendly. No aggression. Prefers females to males (humans). Not phased by anything or anyone. Such a relaxing pet (apart from when he's battering down a fence panel!)

I have a 4 year-old Redfoot. Name is Oliver but pretty sure a girl. Will always be a he to me. He whistles at me and comes out when I call. No doubt looking for food, lol! He has a big private yard and is spoiled rotten. In the few cold months we have here in coastal SC, he either stays on the deck in a large tub with a heat emitter and greenhouse cover or roams the deck if it warms up or on really cold days and nights, comes inside to keep me company in my craft room/office. The first picture he came over to be nosy, the second is part of his yard, it’s double that size.1F11D8A4-F7F9-4374-809D-3BDA9FF2A0A2.jpegFB197072-597D-4578-89F2-AF12BE414463.jpeg

I have a ten year old sulcata that I acquired last year. He was very shy at first but has really come out of his shell (pun intended). He is curious and will come over to people and dogs standing outside his enclosure. If I sit on the ground he'll crawl up into my lap. His days mostly consist of walking to a patch of weeds, eating for a couple of minutes, then moving on to the next patch. He's a neat addition to the aviary and people just adore him.
