Reptile & Amphibian Forums

This is a rescue animal and I have no idea what the previous husbandry was so don't get upset with me - OK? It's the most grossly deformed sulcata I have seen so far. I don't know what it's life span will be, but it appears healthy, at least from all outward appearances.

can't see the picture.

Thanks Grahm.
Definately too much protein.

out in something - ha ha

I use pbase as a photo host and it doesn't seem to be the most stable place - frequent down time. I can see it just fine, I'd like to know if you are still having probems.

firstly right click on the red X.
Then select properties.
Look for the address (URL)& copy WHOLE data.
Next, PASTE it into your browsers address bar & click GO.
The pic will appear.

...and you don't have a "right click" button? What then?

then you ask for a link http://image.pbase.com/u33/mngatorguy/large/21670869.deformedsulcata.jpg

if you have a mac, upgrade to system 10 so you can use a right click mouse! or, just drag the photo icon into a new empty window.

can you give an aprox size? looks pretty small in the pic.. anyway atleast it has been rescued

It's approx 12" /- carapace length.

That's very sad.

A pretty awful local reptile store has several that look like that. The f'd up thing is that the guy bred them himself. He thinks he's god's gift to herpetoculture, too.
(No, there's absolutely no talking to them. They are very far off in delusion-ville. But they will happily send people pictures of deformed and scarred animals they have for sale, so you can let me know if you want to try!)
