Couple of years ago I planted some pasture grass seeds that was supposed to be a mixed variety for Sulcata. Today, this is all I have in that area. And I'm not entirely sure it is even grass- but my sully seems to love it and always heads for it when he's out of his enclosure. Wanted to verify...

The pathway is actually exactly what I have planned. I put vinyl coated hardware cloth buried around the perimeter of the aviary. I left a 2 foot overhang for the roof extending beyond the aviary and plan to place 2x2' pavers on the ground below it for a long bench to rest on. I'll do as you...

I installed a fine mesh porch screen along with the hardware cloth for the aviary, hopefully that keeps the feathers from flying all over. I'll be mindful of the quail poop. Using a deep litter method for them inside the aviary, so it should be completely contained. I'll occasionally remove...

I will soon be finished building a rather large aviary for keeping quail (and possibly doves) my next project is to build a Tom style nightbox and cinder block wall for our sulcata. I don't know what the chances of disease spreading between tortoises and birds are, but they'll never be in...

I would say it's right around an inch past it. Still can't capture it exposed on camera, but I suppose we shall see soon enough. Growing like a weed now with the new diet. Starting to build a new outdoor enclosure for it right after I finish building our giant aviary. Attaching a video of my...

I'll do my best to get a better shot, I used to see the tail all the time, but now that I'm looking for it- I only get a glimpse before my camera is ready. Lol I've read that males will often hang their tail to the side, just as the male you've pictured in the top image. This certainly looks...

So the sulcata tends to keep it curled up out of view. I waited with my camera for few hours outside, gave it a soak to encourage it drop stools and hopefully the expose the tail. Unfortunately these were the best shots I could get. The tail actually seems fairly wide at the base and long...

Still a bit small to tell for sure I think, but can anyone make an educated guess? Growth has been tremendously slow with 98% grass diet. This is my first sulcata, hatched in October 2019. Introduced some mazuri tortoise pellets over the winter and have seen a huge growth spurt, so I'll come...
