Here is a current picture of Dudley. Two years ago I took him to the Ag department of the local high school and weighed him on the pig scale. He weighed in at 98lbs. I haven't found anyone to help me lift him into the truck since then, but I'm sure he must've broke 100!

I took him in as a rescue when he weighed 35lbs about 10 years ago. He was badly pyramided. Since that time, I have not fed him at all. He only grazes in his three pastures. I rotate him every two weeks into the next pasture, while I water the previous one. The gal who had him before me used him as stud for her two females. I got them also, but adopted them out. Decided to keep Dudley because he was a good "learning" tool for when we take the show on the road.

One thing I've noticed on the larger sulcatas is they don't LOOK like they weigh. I took in a male that was the same size as Dudley, but when we weighed him he was only 72lbs. So I think when they get bigger, they put on weight, but not so much size.

I'm going to have to figure out some contraption to get him to the vet for a weigh in!!! last time was a strugle to get him on my scale LOL There is NO WAY i can do that now, i'd break my back hehehe... I'm going to have to go to home depot and figure out someway to make a "wagon" i can get him into & wheel him into the vets office LOL
Any ideas???
You could use an engine hoist. The things they use to lift an an engine out of a car. Then you lower him into a wheelbarrow or a wagon.

I use a contractor-sized wheel barrow. But my problem is I have to wait for someone to come over to my house and help me pick him up! I bought a new wheel barrow, and painted Dudley's name on both sides! Now he travels in style (when I can borrow a strong back!).
