He'll get damn big yes.

Regarding the pyramiding, Sulcata's are pretty difficult to keep smooth since they're fast growing torts, and their primary food (grasses etc) is so readily available in an outdoor enclosure!

Hi All
I also have a sulcata, Silky, I bought him/her about a year ago and he/she also has pyramiding on their shell like in the photo. I add all the things i should to her food in the inside incloser but doesnt seem to enjoy eating it, when i put her/him outside she will eat consently but the area she lives in outside is far to large for me to cover with. How can I make sure she is getting enough calcium ect?
while I was bathing her today I noticed her nose bubbling (before I placed her in the bath) She is eating and very active does she have a problem?
All replys greatly received.
I have a great digital camera to send you pics of her but I cant find my cable to connect camera to my computer, hope I find it soon

Bubbles rom the nose is RNS and is a serious condition. Do you have any other torts?

Get to the vet ASAP for some Baytril!
