He looks great.

Can you share his care routine? And want to shout out to the breeder?

He really looks good with a somewhat smooth shell. I'm a little concerned, though, that he isn't heavier. What are you feeling him, and is he getting some natural sunlight outside? Please know that I'm asking you this cause I only want the best for him and you :)

In fact-- are you sure he was a baby when you got him? 697g in just under 6 months is tremendous growth. What are you feeding him????

Here is when i fist got him. I actually got him from a local pet store who didnt know anything about sulcatas. I learned everything here on the forum. I also very recently learned that mazuri is not an every day food so maybe that is why he is so big :confused: but he also eats greens the occasional veggie and he eats weeds in the summertime. Its cold right now i live in chicago.

I am amazed!! Yes. That is a hatchling maybe a month or two old at the most. And you've had him since August and now looks great and 700 grams!!!!!

Do you mind sharing your set up, soaking? Temps and humidity? Lighting?

Thanks
