Well, now we have PeeWee (Herman). PeeWee is a locally bred Sulcata and is about 2 1/2 months old. He still has his little egg tooth...too cute! I was wondering if he was starting to show a bit of pyramiding or irregular growth and if that could even out in the future?
He is kept at 100-105 basking, 78-80 cool side. He prefers the warmth. Humidity can dip down to 50%, but I get it up to 70-80% most of the time. I soak him every day, give him calcium a few times a week, and he gets outside a few times a week for natural sunlight. He's so tiny...I'm afraid to put him outside full-time since he seems so fragile. But maybe I can put him outside in the enclosure during the day instead of just a little basking cage.
I'm not sure what he was fed before, but he is pickier than my last Sulcata. He will eat hibiscus leaves, hibiscus flowers, a tiny bit of clover, tender broad leaf grasses (no bahia or anything tough), not many weeds, collards, and the darkest part of romaine. Good poo, good appetite when it is something he likes.

If you can see the planter in the butt shot, it has has strawberries on it. Apparently he was on a mad dash to eat them and I caught him nomming the side of my ceramic planter!
