Elmo the Leopard thinks she is a Sulcata

[Levi the Leopard]

This is Elmo. She is a full on burrowing baby Leopard. Every night she buries herself completely! Uhhhh... she better not burrow like this when she grows up. I don't keep Sulcatas for just that reason! LOL

You think it's a ghost town?

Look closer...

OK I had to pull up a pinchful of moss to reveal just the top of what's truly hiding down in there...

Here she is what she looks like when she is at the surface

What I nice smooth Leo! Looks like she's having an identity crisis.

How cuuute! I would have a heart attack if one of my sulcatas burrowed and just up and disappeared one day [FLUSHED FACE]

I sure did the first time! Now, I expect it but I still search for her spot every night. Sometimes it takes my husband called in as back up to find her. But every single morning she is at the basking rock warming up before I even wake up

Well Heather, you know,what this means, don't you? If she burrows when she's bigger, you might as well get a sulcata too . Same reason I didn't get a sully too.

Maybe someday if I move to bigger property

Mine would always "burrow" down like that in weed and grass thickets outside. The hatchlings would dig all the way into their orchid bark too in their outside sunning enclosure. I'd have to sift through the bark with my fingers to find them. They like being tucked in that way. My adults dig in like that in their grass hay in their night box too.
