He looks wonderful. I like that idea of hiding treats. n/p

: I took some pictures of my sulcata, Nigel.
: I always enjoy seeing pictures of everybody else's torts... especially pictures of King Karl.

: I've had Nigel for a couple years. I adopted him. (He and another sulcata were the victims of a divorce.) I'm not sure how old he was when I got him. He was about the size of a tea cup saucer. It's neat how the changes in his life are reflected in his shell. He was pyramiding when I got him, but I could already see that the pyramiding was less since he'd been at his foster home. When I moved him to his outdoor enclosure, I saw a BIG change in his shell growth. The pyramiding almost stopped (I think) and his shell color became very dark. The last few growth lines have been really thick...

: I'm going to try to post or link some pictures of Nigel. He mostly grazes on the grass in his pen, but I take him for walks to munch on weeds too. Every couple of days, I like to hide tidbits like zucchini and collard greens for him to discover. The pictures are from his discovery of a treat.
