Well, I took a day off from work to welcome the newest addition to my zoological family. He is a sulcata baby whose name is Homer. He got a good soaking in warm water about five minutes after the FedEx delivery this morning. Once, in his enclosure, he walked like eight inches and passed out. Kind of worried he was sick, but after a 45 minute nap, he woke up bright-eyed and bushy tailed and has been non-stop eating (Spring Mix/w added endive) and exploring his new cage.
I would like to first thank this forum for all the information and links that are provided. I have been researching tort care for almost a month. Currently Homer is enjoying about 65% humidity with a substrate temperature of 84 degrees.![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Secondly, I would like to thank LLLreptile for being a great place to get supplies and Homer. Their specialty lamps were half the price of the big box pet stores here in Atlanta. And their staff was very friendly with any questions I had about my order.
I look forward to posting about Homer in the Sulcata Central forum, and continually learning more about sulcata care or husbandry if trying to impress my neighbors.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thanks to everyone again,
