Hi there! I'm ecstatic to get my newest rescue! I've named 'her' Shella.
She's about 2.1 inches. There's some SUPER minor pyramiding, but she's only 3 months and it will be easily reversed. The pryamiding was from a very dry glass cage.
She's super social and is in her quarantine.

Good luck to you and baby Shella!

Welcome to the forum. Most first time posters do not have a 100 lb. sulcata. I, for one, would love to see some pictures and get to know Max (and you) a little better. You could start a new thread here in the Sulcata section, or there is an introductions section for that purpose. Glad you have joined us.

I'm not sure. I believe he is moving to a dorm and just found out animals are prohibited. Why?

Thanks, dizisdalife! Yeah, I've had Max since he was a hatchling, and I didn't exactly know what I was getting into; over time we've made adequate accommodations for him and he now lives in an enormous outdoor enclosure.
I might start my own thread- I'd just have to think of something interesting to talk about! :p

Just show us some pictures of Max, for starters. That should be pretty interesting.
