hi, my name is luis. i just adopted a baby sulcata from my sister in arizona. i live in puyallup, washington. i'm not sure of the age, but i'm sure its at least a few weeks old. i've kept turtles before but never a sulcata, so naturally i'm gonna be full of questions and feel that this is the best place on the internet to get some good solid answers. i look forward to being a part of this amazing community of tortoise keepers for advise and knowledge and possibly handing out some of my own experiences and tips. so if anyone has any comments or advise, please please, share them with me. i am a clean slate with tortoise handling and need some direction. thank you.

I owned a sulcata, had to recently get him to a good home because I wasn't going to have the proper space. It was a sad day but he's on a nice piece of property now. These tortoises are the third largest in the world. They grow pretty fast for torts.
I'll be happy to pass any knowledge I know to help
