Very cool. It is unusual to see one so big and so smooth. Thanks for sharing.

It's so good to see a Sulcata the way they *should* look instead of being all pyramided and unhealthy.
So welcome to the group, we love getting more Sulcata here. I have Bob, he's 120 pounds and 15 years old.
Have you had Gilligan for most of his life? You can do a 'search' and meet Bob my Sulcata. He's got numerous photos here...You'll really enjoy this group. We are a pretty good group...

I just finished perusing the initial copy of "The Tortoise." In the magazine there is a picture of a full grown sulcata at the 1967 Los Angeles Reptile show. The caption refers to the previous year's show where this particular sulcata had made its initial appearance. That was 45 years ago...so Gilligan could very well be 40 years old. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

Gilligan is a beauty, and you should be very proud.
