Hi All.

We're already growing on 2 ?female Sulcatas that are now 14 months and growing like weeds. The females are sisters from suspected Sudanese bloodline (father weighs over 200lbs). Now we've imported a light coloured 29cm ?male from Spain. He's settled in very well and we love his high domed shell.

He's very pretty (as is the smaller female).

The picture above was taken yesterday.

The new male is 30 months and is 29cm and 4.1kg. We're pretty certain of his sex.

The ?females were hatched August 2014. They're now - 21.5cm & 1.75kg and the smaller is 20cm & 1.35kg.

When we got the females last December I think they were around 300gm and they've grown so fast. Much faster than our own hatched babies from a regular Sulcata bloodline despite identical conditions for rearing. I've added a few older pics for interest and of their plastrons.
