for-the-outliers:the-awkward-turt:breadeddragons:HEEEEERE’S JOHNNY!For those who are wondering, this is not Photoshopped. It is not all that unusual for adult sulcatas to walk/burrow through drywall. Not necessarily for any particular reason, just because they feel like digging and can’t be bothered by the frivolity of human structures. As someone who both owns a sulcata and has worked with them for several years at The phoenix zoo. I can confirm. these guys are destructive as all hell. dry wall, wood, chain link, clay/rocky soil, cinder block barricades, ect. if they want to go burrow some place they are going to.oddly enough though when it comes to keeping them in a pen they might tear through chain-link, but if they can’t see past it they assume it’s solid. a piece of plywood will hold them but chain link or mesh won’t. however on one hand since they know how to do a grand total of 2 things to solve their problems it makes it pretty easy to tell if your husbandry is off. too hot? DIG, too cold? DIG, too dry? you guessed it DIG. option number two try eating the thing. not enough calcium or minerals (not always sometimes it’s just instinctual) EAT ROCK, not enough fiber EAT WOOD HIDE, hungry EAT (literally any POSSIBLE food item) -- source link
