From the pics that loaded with my dial up, the look great. I love turts and torts. They are great creatures. Just out of curiousity Aric, how fast to Sulcata's reach the 200lbs mark? Petland in the next city over sells Sulcatas for 150 and they are tiny 2.5 inchers. People think they are cute, which they are, but don't realize how big they get. Figure what 5 - 7years for them to reach that size?
I had a friend ask why we don't hear about 200 torts running rampage around cities. It's sad cause they don't last that long, they die from lack of UV and heat, or improper foods.....
EDIT:
To add...are the turtles and torts at the zoo, were they purchased as wild caught, where they someone's high end pets, or where they purcashed as babies and hand raised. The only reason I ask is because of the pymariding. It takes some time to develop and longer to reverse....just curious.
