RE: Sulcata pictures
cute pic!!! He's a handsome guy! if your saying you've weighed him and think he's now 100+, maybe my guessing of turdboy is WAY off! from the pic, TB looks bigger.... I need to take him to a scale LOL
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.

RE: Sulcata pictures
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!).

RE: Sulcata pictures
Anna, one of the people from the Chino club has a huge Sully, They got the garden wagon from Costco (they might even have them at Home Depot) they made a ramp and bribe him with banana to get him to climb into the wagon then they have a hoist and winch to pull it up into the back of a pickup, when nobody is their to help lift him. They said he weighed 126 lbs. at last weigh in.

RE: Sulcata pictures
they make these flat dolley type things to move furniture on - like pianos, etc.
They are basically a flat frame with wheels. Maybe if you get one or two and put plywood over them and frame it, then you could lure him into it since it will only be a few inches off the ground (maybe with the help of a ramp) and it should roll easy.
My piano is on one right now and very easy to roll when I vacuum.
Something similar to this: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=pr...lpage=none
One lovely Sulcata named Sir Percival.
