Hi,
Just want to share photos of my sulcata for possible comments on his present condition. I've had him for close to 2 years now. He's around 2.5 kilos, with a carapace length of 10 inches, and a width of 7 inches.
I've kept him in a close enclosure since I got him, with only a basking halogen light and LED strips for ambient lighting. I've maintained humidity at at least 85%, with daily soak for about 30 mins. The last time I measured the temp was 38 deg. celsius.
He has his occasional sun bath for about 2 hours every week. During rainy season, he gets none of that.
His diet mainly consists of mazuri and left over vegetables.
Does he look ok as of now? I've noticed a slight pyramiding but I hope it's still at an acceptable rate. Are there necessary routines I am not doing now?
Also, I've met this Vet before who asked me if I have already dewormed my then sulcata. Are we even supposed to do that?
thanks in advance for your replies.
