Well, after seeing Tudor I am basically speechless. And probably should wait to do this. I just don't know what to say. I was going to say this is what happens when a Sulcata doesn't get the proper care...but Tudor is beautiful...anyhow, these are a couple of Cory's rescues...
Cory got into reptiles about 5 years ago. Each animal she got was a rescue so here are some pictures of them. I don't remember their names I think the big female is Bean, named after a friend of ours.
Look at how smooth she is...
This is also a rescue. I don't remember his name just that he is about 10 years old
you can see that the new growth at Cory's is smooth. But he will never be 'normal'
The bigger of the 2 is several years younger then the biggest one. You can see both are badly pyramided. But there again, the new growth at Cory's is smooth
This is Cory holding the smaller tort. Look at the rocks behind her. The whole area is pretty like that.
This is the amazing part for me...look at the fence. It's just funky, but the whole pen has growth like what you see here. The dandelions grow huge because there is so much to eat they leave some. They are so satisfied with what they have to eat they don't try to escape. This also debunks our theory that if they can see thru the fence they will try to push thru. These guys could escape in a minute if they wanted to...but they have so much food right there they are happy.
I wish this picture was better. Cory was giving a tour to a group and a child got away from the group and picked up this Leopard. In trying to climb the fence with her, he dropped her and broke both her front legs and her jaw. So Cory was grinding up her food so she could eat and the wet food for so long caused the jaw to rot and half of it is gone. She talked about sending the tort home with me, but we didn't get that together. The tort obviously has a hard time eating and Cory thought she would do better with me. I wish now I had brought her home.
Instead I brought 2 Sugar Gliders home.
Anyhow...that's most of her Sulcata I think
