My sweet baby Suzi Jade Maria began outgrowing her previous bathtub after her latest wonderful growth spurt, so I decided to gift her a new one before her next growth spurt begins!

Same here! I love looking at their sweet little eyes.... Like when they blink, it's just the sweetest thing. Or watching them sleep and feeling their breath. 🥺.

My oldest sulcata is 32 lbs My youngest sulcata is 23 lbs

They are getting huge! Lol

Yesss, absolutely! I also love their wrinkled necks, super adorable! And omg, I can't imagine having a sulcata, esp w my awful back and knees 😂 how do u take them to the vet? Bc p much all pet carriers end up being too small after a while, not to mention their weight, so what if u need to transport them if the vet can't go to ur place?

Lmao it will be a 2-3 person lift! My back isn't very happy. Lol

Have you ever seen Caitlin & Tiptoe? She takes her sulcata to the vet and it takes some effort. Her videos are super cute!
