I am new to this forum

[EllenM]

Hi, my name is Ellen. I have a 9-10 year old female Sulcata named Sully. She was named by one of my 4 grandchildren. Sully and I live in the Kansas City, Missouri area.

I have attached (I hope) a picture of Sully. I look forward to talking to other tortoise parents.

Hello, Ellen, and a very warm welcome to Tortoise Forum to you and Sully.
New owner, or have you had Sully for a while?

Welcome Ellen and Sully! Looking forward to hearing all about Sully and more pics.

I've had her since she was a hatchling. I'm not sure how old she was. I got her at a reptile show from her breeder but I was so enamored of her I forgot to ask how old she was, but she was only about as big as my fist, maybe 2 " long front of carapace to back. She lived with my son for a while who took very good care of her. She is somewhat spoiled, loves having her head rubbed and front feet petted!

How big is sully now?

 

[EllenM]

She's 14", front to back and she weighs almost 11 pounds. She really enjoys soaking in the bathtub.
