Wasn't trying to make you look like a nut case Wendy
Ages are very hard to tell unless it's a wild caught animal. Danny

Sulcata grow huge, large enough for a child to sit on easily (not that I recommend this) they can dig 30ft holes in the ground as they use scrapes to shelter in. They will need a concrete house and expensive heating most of the year, depending on where you live. And need very secure fencing if they don't have enough space, as they will plough through fencing. This is all normal for a sulcata.

Good job you did this thread as suggested. So it would seem you don't have female Marginateds or a female Horsfield, but the old Hermanns Boettgeri mated an Ibera and a Hermanns Boettgeri, and its the HB's eggs that look fertile.
What is the width of the table slats as he looks pretty big already compared to them? |

The table slates are 4 inches wide and also does anyone think its bad that the male has mated with them 2 torts also do you think the babies will be normal or Deformed and roughly when will they start pipping
