:eek: Oh, MY!!! I have never owned a sulcata, so I have no experience or knowledge to share. :(
But based on what I've read about sulcatas on other threads, that seems like a good guess to me.
If Luie is a big guy, my only suggestion is to wear your running shoes!!! :p

How big is he??? :confused:
He's only 8 inches. I think he'll calm down after he gets use to the backyard living space

Joe's a 10 inch Greek and rams most of the time. You learn not to take your eye off him. It sure hurts on the ankle bone :rolleyes:

Unfortunately, Sulcatas get a lot bigger. You're going to need a wall between him and you.

Good morning roomies! I hope you're all doing well this morning.

I regained control of my kitchen yesterday morning - it's clean again :) Then we went to see Rogue One in the afternoon... really good :)

Interesting to see a CGI Peter Cushing brought back to life and CGI Carrie Fisher as young Leia. Clever technology.

I read somewhere that since torts can only ram in a forward direction, if you just quickly step to their SIDE, they cannot ram you. @Killerrookie

Snow is beautiful, but I'd MUCH rather watch it than be out IN it!!!!! :)
My youngest sister and her family live in MONTANA. A few weeks ago they had :eek: -17*F !!!!!! I just can't even IMAGINE what that must be like... :confused::confused::confused:

I've heard so often that Washington state (where you are, I think? :rolleyes: ) is beautiful!!! For some reason I didn't think y'all got cold enough to snow...:p
Washington state has lots of different climates. There's rain forest, desert, mountains, lots of farmland. So it kind of depends on which part of the state you're in but there's lots of snow too. This is next weeks forecast :-(

We've had about 18 inches of snow so far this winter. Didn't barely have any snow the last few years. So it just varies. I live in the south east corner of the state.

Are you anywhere near the ranges where they still have wild horses roaming? Or is that Oregon?

Oh my! Feisty little Greek! :D
Yeah I knew they got bigger and was one reason I got a Sulcata because I had all the requirements to house many of them if I wanted. I just never took in the thought that one might want to fight me. :D

That's very interesting and something new I learned! Thank you.
However, they can turn pretty quickly when they're warm :D I have learned to gardening with the sole of my shoe pointed towards Joe. That way the point of impact is less likely to hurt :D
