Hello and welcome. She looks great. What is that plant she's walking in? A new food for us to feed? They all like toes. I've actually sat there and waited to see if they would bite them and they never have. Doesn't mean yours won't.

Hi Kfb:
Welcome to the forum!! Arizona is a great place for sulcatas. Just out of curiosity, can you give me information on your rescue please? I like to keep a list of them for future reference.

Hey Tom
She is walking in Lantana, but she doesn't eat it. She just likes to hang out in there because there is a sprinker head in it. She shmushed that path right through the middle of the bush
She did find our very large Honeysuckle vine and set up house in it for the first few weeks, unfortunately she ate it from the inside out and had to move to a different bush, she doesn't eat this one so her home is safe.
On a side note our two Old English Sheepdogs are very sad about the Honeysuckle vine because they love to eat the flowers, but their new little friend ate the whole bush!

Welcome to the forum! I am from Arizona too and have Sulcatas. I have learned once you get one, you keep getting more even if that means moving to buy more land because of your love for them lol.
I just looked up Lantana on some of my plant lists. Its extremely toxic if they eat it. Mine eat stuff that they shouldn't sometimes when they get hungry. Just wanted you to know in case you wanted to restrict access to that area or remove it.
Shelly is a beauty! Sorry about the dogs losing out.
Hello, and welcome!
Shelly is a cutie, and it's great that you have a vet tech handy. But be careful for your toes, my tort always sneaks up on them hoping for a quick bite haha.
Best of luck to you and Shelly!
