Hi everyone! My name is Holly and I live in Georgia. I purchased a sulcata tortoise from a pet store in Atlanta, Georgia. They told me he/she was about 6 months old, measures 3 inches. There is noticeable pyramiding, but he is very friendly, has a good appetite, and loves exploring.

Hello, Holly, and a very warm welcome to Tortoise Forum to you and your Sully.
You're right about the pyramiding, he's been kept much to dry, unfortunately.
Still a pretty tortoise though.

Thanks for the links, I have read and read them again. I have also implemented alot of changes that are different and hopefully will be beneficial. A much more humid, warm environment!
