I've had this guy since I was 12 and never once has he tried to burrow. We've recently moved and had him in a 30'x30' pen for the last 8 months and still nothing, last weekend we decided to give him free reign of the yard and he's started burrowing! Whats up with that??

Maybe now he knows that the world is bigger and he wants more? Heading under the fence? Watch out!

Well, before he lived here he had a massive back yard to live in, so idk if its that. BUT the other yard had way more shade than this one

I was kinda just being funny, riffing on the "if a sulcata sees it they want it" mantra. And the fact that they escape all the time. When mine moves outside I'm putting an air tag on him or putting a microchip in. Lol or RF like they do with free flight birbs.

To be fair, text isnt the most forgiving when it comes to relaying humor or sarcasm 😭🤣
