I just bought a sulcata from a pet store in Birmingham Al. It's a total crap hole. I have 2 redfoots I purchased online. They live in the yard and do great. In the winter I place in a baby pool inside my garage with a red heat lamp.
I have been looking at this sulcata for about 6 months. They have had for 2 years in the store just wandering around. No sunlight and dog food. It has pyramiding. I just couldn't take it and purchased. It's been a few days and has been great. No problems with the redfoots and is eating well. Just grass, weeds and vegs. Not really even trying to dig. The guy said it was 22 years old but I'm not sure. It only weighs 20 to maybe 25 lbs I guess.
How old would a 20 lb sulcata be?
Also, I am going to get his on baby pool for the winter and place in the garage. Any problems with this?
Photos attached.
Thanks. Also any advice would be nice. The humidity in Alabama is fairly high which I have read studies which say this isnt bad for sulcates shell and he willl be keeping the grass weeds in check, along with vegs. No protein. Nice big back yard to enjoy.
