im glad that you got the tort, but looks like in this video, your tortoise has horrible pyramiding. you can fix this by just getting him in the sun, and more helpful rays. just trying to help. i have the same tortoise.

I own a 17 year old Sulcata named Lenny. He grazes in our backyard in Northern California in the town of Vacaville. He weighs 108 lbs and is about 28 in long measured across the plastron. The reptile vet at UC Davis said that a mixture of about 75% hay (not alfalfa) and grass with the rest going to some greens like kale and lettuce with an occasional treat of fruit is the correct diet. He passed his physical with flying colors. At 4 Lenny weighed 25 lbs. so I hope you have a yard.

@drego1999 Thank you very much. Leopard geckos are quite a hardy species of gecko. Really easy to care for any handleable. I would do some extensive research before you buy one though just to make sure you are prepared to take care of one correctly.

Nice Sulcata, what do you plan on doing with him when he's 200lbs? New York gets pretty cold, lol.
One of my favourite kinds of torts for sure.
Try not to feed too much Timothy hay, people actually get it around backwards sometimes. Too much fiber can be detromental.

Hey thanks Rainey for the advice. Yeah I try not to feed Timothy hay to him all the time now because I noticed that he doesn't really like it. I plan to house him outside for the summer when he gets big and bring him in for the winter.
