Here is my favorite sulcata photo. The fellow in the picture is Tomas Diagne...founder of the African Chelonian Institute. He will be a guest speaker at the TTPG conference this month.

I wish I could post picutres. For some reason I haven't been able to. I have a new MAC and I'm still trying to figure it out and I thought that's what the problem was but I also tried to upload some pictures from my phone and that doesn't work either. When I figure it out I will post some picture of my babies.

Neither....maybe that's the problem. I have never heard of tinypic until today on an earlier post and I haven't used photobucket since my MySpace days (it's been a while). I will try to use one of these methods when I get home from work tonight and see if I have any luck. THANKS!

Did he catch it or was it already dead when he tried to eat it?

Interesting...brings back memories of discussions about protein intake in the wild and what hatchlings might come across underground...

Really ? He eats wild protein?
I have heard that protein is not something that is very good for them, very interesting...

DIDn't you know all Sulcatas are good at math? it comes from counting all those steps they take then sit for hours eating and trying to make the numbers conform to thier suroundings..... they are SO smart!
