What is that he's eating there.

Hi KRH, the flower and some of those leaves in the pix is Rose of Sharon. The other munchies include various grasses, plantain leaves, grape leaves and some hosta leaves.

Yet another nice hot, sunny humid day in Maryland -- perfect outside time for our Sully. Was busy today munching on grass, rose of sharon, hibiscus and some plain old weeds. Better part of 5 hours outside in the sun! @Lancecham u were right, hes gonna take off now in full heat and summer sunshine!

Wow!! That is an impressive weight gain!!!!

 

[Maro2Bear]

Two more pix of our Sully during his weigh-in session.



Raring to finish his photo op, and get back to a nice nap and a snack.





Here's a sneak peak of his plastron. Too early to determine "his" sex I guess.

 

[Tatyana]

How many inches is he

 

[Maro2Bear]

Greetings. No measurable weight gain this week which we have seen from time to time. Feeding a lot more weeds, rose of sharon, plantain, dandelion greens, etc.

Nice hot, humid day here in Maryland. Our Sully enjoyed a good deal of outside time today and received a nice warm water misting on the hour, every hour during the peak heat hours.

Here's a pix of Sully hanging out in the shade after chopping down a ton of grass and Rose of Sharon flowers. About 14 months old and over 4 lbs.

Some more data points on our Sully, start of a new month. Ive included some pix of the inside of Sully's enclosure after a good cleaning and refresh with new crab grass plugs from the garden. I used to hate these crab grass plugs popping up along the edges of our garden, now I encourage them and know that they provide some great greens for Sully.

Our Sully continues to grow and grow and grow. He's really enjoying the Summer heat and humidity and of course the sunshine and all the fresh grass, weeds and flowers can only help. @Lancecham - Sully should be 5 pounds by the end of August!

HHMMM!!! Maybe 5 pounds before that.
To play a guessing game, I would guess he will be 5 pounds on Aug. 21

Any other guesses?.....
