Nice, I can't wait till we get warm. That's quite a big yard for him to walk around in. Don't look away for even a second, he could get lost there quick. And that's when they are quick too, when your not looking.

They all grow different rates. As long ur following everything u should be good

 

[Evy]

Alex is right, mine is in the bigger side but you need to do the best for yours. You don't want it to grow bigger or smaller because at the end it will have problems

I put my sulcata out in a large dog crate without the plastic tray. I can move it around at the sun/shade change. I dont have to worry about him walking away

I'll bet you didn't put him out yesterday, Summer. My son in Forney sent me pictures of his snow-covered neighborhood! And by the way...please make a thread in the Introductions and tell us a bit about yourself. And I'd love to see pictures of your little guy!

You're right. I havent put them out recently. I have a small torti pen on the side of my house for the summer time. When Daryl gets bigger I have a large field for him. I would love to have a "herd" of sulcatas. I have loved tortoises for years and lost my Junior a couple years ago. Junior was a 17 year old sulcata that i had since he fit in the palm of my hand. I moved back to Texas, my home, 6 years ago after my husband died.

Why how big is yours? Also, you can compare yours with the other sulcatas in this collection : http://bit.ly/tortoise-growth-charts . You might find that your sulcata is not that bad

When your Tortoise get big they do things like mive the furniture and go thru the dry wall. Gotta love it
