Ive had her around 7 months at this point.. I'd just like input on how people think her shell looks so far.. (It looks a lot better since I got her)
She came from a pet shop where she was kept on sand.. With low humidity & low 80's was what her temps were. She was fed fruits and veggies mostly.. From what I saw.
Once I got her home I slowly started to pick her heat and humidity up over the next few days to make sure I didnt shock her. I also began feeding her grass that i grew, i ordered it specially for sulcatas.. As well as other greens that i made sure were tortoise safe. After that she began to seem much for active and started to grow
I guess I'm mostly worried about her growth being stunted because of the way she was kept before... If thats even possible ??? At the pet shop they said she was about a year old.. And Ive now had her 7 months... So I'd like some input from anyone who has a tort around this age.. I'd really like to compare her to another one around her age.
I keep her in the following conditions:
160 w power sun bulb, and a 150 w red bulb for night. Her basking spot is about 105-110.. Her cold side is about 82-85, her middle area ranges in the 90's. Shes in a 4 x 2 box I built, I keep the top blocked with glass aquarium tops so her humidity is usually around 80% .
You can see her size in the last picture compared to my hand.. And shes hiding in the photos cause I woke her up to take her picture ahws actually very friendly
