So some may remember my frank was infested with parasites. Well earlier this week I got a fecal test and he is now clean and free of parasites. He is very small 140g and will be 2 at the end of aug. he has gained 10 grams or so in the last 2 weeks. Hopefully he will start growing good now. He has some pyramiding due to my ignorance about raising hatchlings and was told to raise them dry. I am now doing it toms way. He is very active and eating a lot more. Here's a pic in his outdoor enclosure. ImageUploadedByTortForum1374250917.161118.jpg

Good deal. Im sure it has had a little something to do with Cooper's big size for his age.

What drug do you use to deform a Sulcata?

Nice! We have that in stock! Since I don't know anything about his background, should I deworm him prophylactically?

Some people do this I wouldn't. Get a fecal check and see if he needs it
