we have 3 sulcata's (1 is 06 and the others are 07's). We live in south west florida and these animals were kept in a 3'x5' secured enclosure outside for the full summer. the 06 and one of the 07's grew substantially and have great shells. However, the other 07 didn't grow much and the belly seems to be soft. All 3 recieved teh same diet and suppliments so I'm dumbfounded as why this is happening. if anyone has ideas and a way to fix this problem I am all ears as I am more of a snake person but really want to get into torts soon.
