This is a good thread to bookmark so next time a newbie asks how fast do Sulcatas grow we can show this link. This is less than a year's worth of growth. Beautiful-looking tortoise. You've done a great job!

I also have to give some kudos to Tom. Although he didn't 'invent' the hot/humid method of raising sulcatas, he has been the very vocal member here on the Forum about it. And his system certainly shows good results!..

Right on both accounts. Mike has done a fantastic job. Dozer raises the standard for smooth shelled baby sulcata. I am sure Tom is smiling too.

I can not take the credit for the smooth growth . Thats Toms care tips . So I have to give him the credit . Thanks for the positive feedback.

He/she looks really good.. Its crazy how much they can vary in growth rates. I too got mine for fathers day and its only about 140 grams right now. But my rescue I got in Oct at 261 grams is now over 800 grams. Im thinking my hatchling will growing alot faster this spring. Hoping anyway. They both eat the same diet but my rescues growth is explosive. They are separated so its not an issue of bullying.

Yes it is crazy how fast they grow .Dozer was started dry no water on hay . He was four weeks old when I got him . I changed every thing . I did everything like Tom said and bam he is growing like a weed .

He's going to catch up to Harry soon!

 

[DeanS]

Not bad at all...nice work!

 

[motero]

He is so round, like a...female.

I hope so! But I hope he gets his attitude adjusted . He likes to ram and flick the substrate . Really does not like to be messed with .
