Well over the past year I have really been able to see these little one's personalities develop! Pebbles: She's always been pretty timid. If you come in the room she runs! I mean, she is quick! Those little elephant feet just pitter-patter her across her enclosure! She is a very finicky eater. She looks for the best stuff first and if Bam-Bam comes over she will move aside and wait for him to finish eating first. I am hoping that she becomes more bold as she matures. She is very cute though. I just love her little eyes. She looks around and you can see the white part...it's almost like those little precious moments statues;) Pebbles is very determined though..she will work at trying to climb the wall of her enclosure until she passes out. Something in her little head tells her that she can and will escape sooner or later when really it's pretty impossible;) Bam-Bam: He's pretty much the opposite of Pebbles. He's very bold and bullyish. He runs towards me when he sees me come in the room. He will look for treats and when I put food into the enclosure he bolts straight towards it. He will already eat out of my hand too! He pushes Pebbles around a lot as he does anything else in his cage. He managed to move a flower pot 4x"s his size across the enclosure. Bam-Bam seems pretty smart too. He always immediately notices if I put something new into the enclosure. I added another UVB lamp and he ran over to it with his head up looking at it. I added a thermometer and he runs over immediately and tried to climb the wall to take a bite out of it. He's going to be trouble when he's 100 pounds! |

It is so nice and funny to read about two sulcatas so different. Mine are just the same. Gwendolyn is light and golden. She is very nosy, she cannot wait to see what I am bringing. She comes running and she is eating things out of my hand. She really loves when I give her a bath and shower, she is actually diving under the water. She is very nice to Newton and Platon, she never pushes. Platon is a big, sensitive bully. He has a beatiful colour, he is very dark, but he has always been the shy one. He is kind of private.... He loves being out in summer and he likes placing himself on the highest spot, looking down on the other two small ones (Gwendolyn and Newton). He is very aware of the food I am bringing, but he likes to wait till Im gone, before he comes down and pushes the two others away from the best place in the middle of the food... Newton, the leopard, who is the smallest of them all, is not afraid of him at all. Newton was the first one I had ( My son bought him and thought it was a sulcata!!!!!!) He was the biggest to begin with - now he is the very smallest, but he must have a very strong ego.  It looks very funny, when the two of them are eating together, the big Platon and the very small Newton. (I also have a russian tortoise, I rescued her this summer from a person who had very cruelly neglected her. She had not had food or water for months, her eyes could not open, I had to hand-feed her for almost a month before she could eat herself. She is called Anouschka ( little Anna) in momory of the murdered russian journalist Anna Politkovskaja. She has her own vivarium and will get a partner next spring.)
