Hello everyone

I am new to this site. My name is summer and I live in SC. I have a little
Sulcata named Crouton Dave. He is about 8inches long now and about one month ago he hit the 3 pound Mark :) .
He is my adopted child hahaha!!! He even has his own baby photo album.
I will post pictures on here at some point for yall to see. I do have other pets too such as two Pitt bulls and a lab Pitt mix (they r my life), I also have four cats, Crouton Dave and a leopard gecko. I do have a question in the care for Crouton, I need a list of various plants that I can plant year round for him
To eat in an outdoor enclosure and what kind of "furniture" plants that i can
Have on there for shade and things. Thank you everyone!!! :):tort:

Hi and welcome!! How big was he when you got him? As for the plants, tortoisetable is a good place to look. For me, it's almost easier to start with what plants I like or am thinking about and see if they are safe, since there are so many plants you can use.

Yes I will put pictures on here of Crouton but it will be later on today @bouaboua. Yea I'm looking and I'm about to buy a couple books on specific types of plants to use. Also finding out about different foods that I could feed him but the more I look the more it seems like I'm feeding him the wrong stuff possibly.... :(. I'm getting confused now.. hes seemed to b doing fine with the food so far. Thank u for the welcome u guys:)
