Today my Sulcata is 2 months old. I have had *baby* for 2 weeks. She (50/50 chance?) is eating plenty and pooping often and loves to explore the large terrarium.
Yesterday I planted aloes, ice plants and jades throughout the enclosure. Several hours later baby emerged and really investigated the plants- even eating some big bites of aloe. (I know it can be a laxative, but everythings fine today).
She is chowing down on green leaf lettuce this morning.
Cheers! Emily

Well congrats! :)

Can you ask the seller the incubation temp? Its not 100%, but it can give you a pretty good idea of the sex. I noticed the dry hay in your photo. Babies usually won't eat that, so just be careful that it doesn't mold in your (hopefully) humid baby enclosure.

Hi Tom,
The breeder just told me that he keeps them between 81 and 84 degrees so.....what sex do you think?

Oh and I know they won't eat the hay, but I didn't know when to start putting it in, it's cheap so I'll just change it out every week or so.
