Biggest/Heaviest Sulcata

[bigdog]

I have read that they can go up to 36" in length and 100-200+ lbs but was wondering what is the biggest anyone has actually seen/had.

Biggest I've seen was 70 lbs, local rescue group. I have three Sullies, my biggest is 24" long, over 50 lbs.

Here was the event where I met them. One of mine is way in the back of the shot, he's my 5 lb rescue.

Thanks, Tom! Now we're talkin'!

Size matters!!

So far my Cooper is 33 months old, 18 inches long and 40 pounds, Id say he is a little on the big size for an Indiana raised Sulcata. But he is my spoiled boy!

Or, does Cooper have a little Sudanese in his genes? Hmmmm. : )

Thanks Tom, those are monsters... I've seen some advertised on craigslist, etc that are supposed to be 100+ lbs but I'm guessing as in the dog world (especially with big dogs) a lot of people inflate that a "bit"
