: Angel and Bubba have moved to their new home in Texas.
: Their new keepers drove down this past weekend to pick them up.

: Upon arrival they will be met by the local press, as they're the only sulcatas in that area!
: Their new home is much larger than the area they had here.
: It's completely planted with native grasses, has a soaking area and heated greenhouse.

: They will not be bred and will be part of an educational program.

: In a couple of years their new keepers are moving to a larger property, where Angel and Bubba will have a whole acre to themselves.
: Their new keepers have no plans to get any more sulcata.

: So, as hard as it was to part with them. I look at the little patch of bare grazing area they had here, and know I did the right thing.

How wonderful for them, and sad for you. I know it was a difficult decision. Now you can focus on that adorable little Hoku. How is he doing? He probably won't know how to behave with all of that concentrated attention. I envision something along the lines of 'horribly spoiled'. And he's worth it. I hope the new owners keep you posted on their progress and send pictures.
