the 2 big males are 145kg and 180 kg (approx. 22.75.and 28 stone)
anything from about 60kg and heavier and they aren't too easy to be lifting & carrying!








a couple of days ago, one of my male sulcatas sneaked through a gate I had left open and came rushing over to see the ali's. he was full of bravado, then realisation dawned just how much bigger they are, so thought better of having a go!!

It was great to watch lol!. Seeing his body language change & the look in his eyes as he realized what he was confronted with was priceless!!
Samson just pressed his head down on top of Buzz & snorted, as if to say 'now don't be silly little boy!'. But then he just calmly carried on eating as if nothing had happened & didn't make a whole drama out of the situation. ��

What can you say except very impressive!! Are the solar panels wired back to the mains via a inverter or do they power separate pieces of equipment?
