My mother in law surprised me at work with a three month old sulcata yesterday..:) we named him/her flash and he is so different than zeke. She got him from a breeder and i can tell a huge difference on how.he looks and acts...he actually looks like all the pictures ive seen online and on here...the vet thinks zeke was an imbreed and now after getting flash i think he is right...i still miss zeke but im glad he is no longer in pain...im also glad im still a tortise owner...he is very cool:)

Wonderful!! My family fusses every time I even buy a box of dog treats, let alone spend that kind of money. That is just too awesome.

Congrats on the new tortoise.

Its unlikely that Zeke's problems were due to any inbreeding. Much more likely that his breeder kept him too dry in the weeks before he sold.
