Charlie Turns 20

Big Charlie · Jul 18, 2019

Today is Charlie's Hatchday (possibly)! He was hatched between July 18, 1999 and August 31, 1999. I recently found the original paperwork I got when I purchased him in a pet store in Paso Robles, California. It is labelled Tortoise Country. Here are some pictures from when he was tiny.

He still loves patrolling along the fence. The first picture was taken almost 3 years ago.

You really did a good job growing him! Do you have any idea what he weighs? My Dudley is a little over 20 and the last time I was able to weigh him he was 110lbs. I've always thought he was a bit light for his age.

Thanks! I've never weighed him. I'm curious though.

Put an upside down 5gallon bucket on your bathroom scale, get someone to help you lift him and set him on the bucket. We'd all like to know what a 20year old sulcata weighs.

We tried! I think my bathroom scale is too small and it is glass so the bucket kept sliding around.
