speedy the sulcata

[mrvrsick]

always likes to walk in his food before he starts eating...

the old cactus/calcium combo! never knew what hit him...

he was here for a long while! it was a warm day, so nap time it was!

he tried to run after the camera ;]

 

[mrvrsick]

he thinks hes a giant ;]

but hes really not, lol

and now its bath time!

yes, i love posting pics of my little guy/gal, cant wait to get a better camera than this rediculously old 3mp canon ;p

Very cute!! How big is s/he 2-3"?? They sure do love to explore.

 

[mrvrsick]

2.5 in SCL ;]
i still need to weigh him, ill do that tomorrow... but how is he so far?

 

[Jentortmom]

Looks good so far just make sure s/he has some humidity. how old is he? they usually get to around 4" by one year. Are you feeding anything else besides the grass, cactus, and mazuri??

 

[mrvrsick]

its about 50% humidity here where i live, but i try to make it a bit more...
i got him about 2 weeks ago, but im guessing hes not more than a couple of months old, the owner didnt know anything about it (feed lettuce and thats it kinda thing)
the forum has really helped me out (thank you!) and now i feed him mostly hays and grasses(bermuda), wild dandilions, hibiscus, marigold, and the mazuri only a couple of times a week.
