I purchased my sulcata baby from the local reptile expo last month. Since then, I have had a medical issue come up and I can no longer care for my sulcata like I had planned on. Her clutch was temp hatched for female. She is an active eater and has been properly cared for with soakings and...

Awesome! Thank you!

Wow! Added bonus.... Didnt expect Reptar to eat so readily and so quickly! And she loves to be soaked... will even crawl into her tiny pond (large water dish with low level of water) and hang out! So happy right now! Reptar seems to be doing so well!

Thank you! :-D :-D

This is the area for Reptar.

Most definitely.

Ive read all the care sheets here, as well as asked pros. Not all those veggies will he/she get, as some only the leaf, flower and/or fruit is suitable. Plus those are just for diet variation, as grasses & weeds will be my torts staples. Thank you for contributin. We are super excited!
