Bowser - approaching 2 years old :)
This is bowser, my 2nd sully, my first one was sick when i purchased, then i got this little guy. hes by far my favorite reptile i have, and really made me want to get more sullys, or torts in general.... however, no room for 2 of these guys as adults... lol.
i provide very basic care, because i keep reading different topics and different do's and dont's ...
hes kept in a old melamine tank i had for a snake, with some modifiers. offered greens every other day, and veggies... fruits once or 2 times a week. soaked 3 times a week and in the summer hes out side almost all day, brought in during the night...
any tips/info, please feel free to throw them in here.

Re: Bowser - approaching 2 years old :)
They can get up to 150 pounds. But most I've seen on YouTube and suck are around 90~120 ish.

Re: Bowser - approaching 2 years old :)
I have one that is about 6 months old. Check out this site... Tortoise Forum - An Online Community of Tortoise Experts - Tortoise Care, Tortoise Photos, Reptile Classifieds
It is by far the best site for tortoise keeping, go under the species type for Sulcata and you will find tons of info and care threads. Pay attention to the husbandry for juvies, humidity is VERY important!

Re: Bowser - approaching 2 years old :)
I get on that site too, just not as much as here. I spray his tank daily with warm water and it stays pretty humid, in working on a new tub fire him though
And thanks!! He is my baby

Re: Bowser - approaching 2 years old :)
Thank you everyone. I want to build a nice out door enclose for the summer, we might be moving to a bigger house/yard and i would like to build something with an outside house for winters (heated and insulated if i can) but for now he does good in his enclosure.
