Yes with the corners reinforced on the outside

it's upside down in this pic but you can see that the short end boards extend out past the side boards. after the liner was complete I screwed another 2x4 to the outside of the long sides. You don't need to do the whole length of the long side, a short piece in each corner will strengthen it just the same. Doing it this way the corners will stay square when lifting one side to dump the dirty water.

Awesome!! Thank you for sharing!!

I caught a cute picture of Charlie's face today. It's really hard to get a picture of his face since he always walks towards me.

This is Sylvia I have no idea how old Sylvia is. I refer to her as a her not knowing what sex she is, After watching her with the other 4 sulcatas I am leaning towards male though. Whatever she is, she and the others get along fine.She has been here for 3 years living alone until this summer. Here is a pic of her with Walker earlier today.She is 19 inches now, was 17 when I got her. Walker had something on his foot that she kept biting at, Walker didn't pay any attention to her.

Sure, as soon as I get a chance I'll try to measure him. I have no way of weighing him though.

Measure him lengthwise...width...and height of carapace while resting...and I'll give you a fair guesstimate as to weight! But I also need a full length photo and a bird's eye view, as well!

Tom took a photo of one of Bob Blome's beasts and from wht Bob tells me..I seem to have hit the 'guess' nail right on the haed!

That would be great. He is 24 inches long measured straight from edge to edge without going around the bend. (There is no way I'm getting a tape measure under him!) He is 31 1/2 inches measuring around the bend. He is 16 inches wide straight across the top, and 11 inches tall.

hello I'm a relatively new sulcata owner and have never had one that small. I just wanted to let you know that my understanding is that new growth comes in as white rings. -That's what I would assume you are seeing. Also occasionally tortoises seem to get hardwater stains (mine has) as well as even fungal infections (but this is even more rare, particularly with sulcatas and yours doesn't look like that to me). Get a second opinion from a more experienced keeper, but I really don't think you have anything to worry about. You have a growing little cutie

Thank you very much

I'd ballpark him right at 75 pounds...give or take! Probably give Handsome dude you got there! Any idea on age?

Here is Su, who just fell asleep on her plate after almost finishing a foot high pile of food on a five gallon bucket lid. She seemed concerned that someone might take it away.

Thank you! I think so too.

Thank you! He is 16, hatched May 1989. Does he seem small for his age?

Wouldn't that make him 26 years old?
