So, I tried to post some pics but apparently I didn't do it right. I don't know if it's because I am still new or what. I will keep working on it though.

nice! welcome tot the form =] I do suggest if you have a the room (especially in the future due to their big size) you should get another sully. Why? because pairs are not good to have. It may sound ok now that their young but when they get older they will have dominance, territorial, mating, and other issues. read this post by Tom. It will help. Happy torting!

Thanks Drew! Just finished it. It sounds like my 2 should be ok for now...until around 5 years? I am prepared to separate the 2 if it's needed. Unfortunately I won't have room for 3 happy Sully's though. There is so much great information here! I get on and hours go by without me even noticing! But, it's educational at least!
