Rec'd a call from someone wanting to turn in their sulcata because it's too big for its tank and they can't set it up outside. They got it as a hatchling 12 years ago. So I was expecting the worst.

Actually it doesn't look too bad at all. A little bumpy and quite small for 12 years of age, but not nearly as deformed as I imagined it was going to be. Weighs about 10lbs and is about a foot long.

Doesn't look too bad until you figure in the size and weight the poor thing should be. Some people are clueless.
