    So I adopted a 25 yr old 150 lb+ Sulcata...

    I actually I actually had layered 2 curtains like that but it seemed to be keeping in too much heat so I removed one. I was trying to find the right words for a Google search for just that! Thanks! The gular is definitely not small. Maybe it's the angle of the pic. It look pretty big to me...

    This is Homer. You can see his dog attack scars but he seems to care less about my 30lb dog Kiwi in her for size. She's afraid of him but he will follow her around the yard when she pops in to say hi. He's got loads of personally. I love having him and I'm 43 and my son is 13 so hopefully he's...
