Hey guys! I just wanted to post an update on my Sulcata, Willie Nelson. I rescued him from a pretty bad situation back in June, he is allegedly 2 years old and when I rescued him he only weighed about 8 oz, he had a respiratory infection and he couldn't move his left front leg. His skin was pale and peeling off and he wouldn't move or eat. The first pictures is from the first night with us.

And after 3 months this is him now! There is actual space in between his scutes, though it's a bit hard to tell from this photo. He weighs about 24 oz nowbigwillie1.jpg

Here is an up close view of his shell:
