Looks like a stunted Sulcata to me. You need to create a large habitat for him just like Yvonne described. Sulcata need room to roam, they are VERY personable and fun to keep. They need about 80% humidity and that will stop the pyramiding that he is getting. You will want to use cypress mulch for his substrate and keep it moist. Provide a couple of hides or several, and rocks to climb on and other stuff to climb over. I hope you will keep him and give him a good home. You will love having a Sulcata I promise...
Welcome!!! :D:tort:

So now that I have had time for all this to soak in I am very excited to start creating a better life for her. Do you guys think a tort table that is 2 1/2 feet by 5 feet would last awhile? Trying to figure out how and where to make one in a hurry. Later down the road I can rearrange the house to make a bigger one. Just dont want to waste the time and money if she will out grow that one within a few months. Thanks for all the info and support.
