um...
well...
er...
if you "scal'd" it down, i think the gaps would bleed into one another- I was trying to perform "clever word play" by replacing the 'e' with an apostropheSustenance

The logo is for a fictional catering company based around reptile food

try some new typefaces. this one doesnt say reptile or food.
your mark and type are too close to each other.
see if you can simplify your mark to work withouth those white strokes.

It seems a bit too forced to me, a tad too "packed".Give the whole thing a little air, add some more white. I would put the text lower and smaller. You also might wanna reconsider the font you used. Take something unique, then kern it better. Also, the turtle is off balance, his front leg is too low in comparison to the rear leg.
Another thing, i get the irony of the word "scal'd", but the logo isn't good enough to make it funny.
Don't want to be an asshole, but in this stage, the logo needs work.

Overall the concept itself is rather confusing. My word association was:
dinosaur
turtle
soup bowl
grill
scalding hot
burnReally, some weird and potentially negative imagery in there.

In zoom mode, in whatever software you're using, zoom out so this is at like 10% Note which details are missing and think about what you need to do to keep it distinct. Version3 meant up there that you should increase the thickness of your white strokes - look at the width of the eye - that'd probably be a good place to start.
The licks are a little flat and a bit too homogenous - get some life and variety in there. Also, your turtle needs a tail, no? :)
I'd consider trying a none-white-stroked turtle shell pattern, just made up of the two shades you've got (which I'd try and contrast a bit more too, incidentally).
Whilst you're playing with this - take out the text. It's probably distracting you from the components of the logo. Always have an idea of the types of text you want to use - but try and make it so both aspects are strong in and of themselves.
I think you're on to a good idea, if you play with it a little more.
Good luck!
