he is lovely, but maybe needs a bigger enclosure.

I dont see any uv light nor basking light.

What heat sources and light sources do you use?

150 degrees is way too much.
i can assure you it never gets that hot in the wild. if you can,attach a dimmer to it and make it more like 120 degrees F at most at the hot end.
i found that dimmers are very useful when controlling heat and light input.
is it a UVB full spectrum or just a regular florecent tube?
you will need a UVB florecent tube if you don’t have one.

Ok..You know I got my scale at walmart for $25 in the IDK the part where the have all the cooking stuff at.Anyway I have a ton of reptiles and I use it all the time its very accurate.

Just to give an Idea I have a Leo tort and they grow at the same rate as the sullys and my Leo is 5 inches and 400 grams and he is 3-4 years old.So that can give you something to com[pare yours too I guess.
