Hello!! I live in Hawaii and have 2 Sulcatas. I have a 9 year old that I had from a baby and I just recently bought my 2nd one about a month ago. :)

Hello and Welcome to the forum. Number one rule in TFO is that New Member got to share some photo of their Tortoise, specially the 9 years old Sulcata you bought up from the baby. AND FROM HAWAII! ! ! ! ! !

Just so you know keeping two sulcatas together is a bad idea . The bigger one will hurt the smaller one. If you go to the sulcata section of the forum read all of the top threads. Tom has some of the best information on these guys .

Hi Mike! Yes I've noticed that my Shelby does not care too much for Zoe. They are ok together if they are in different areas of our yard...but once I put them back in their holding area Shelby will chase Zoe. I'm not too sure on what to do so I think I'll go ahead and read what Tom has to say. Mahalo for the info!!

No problem . You will have to keep them in two different enclosures . Sulcatas are very territorial they only come together to mate . Two males will fight to the death some times . If you had a big enclosure you can have one male with two or three females . Just have to make sight barriers and hides .

I think I'll have to make separate enclosures this weekend. Wish me luck! LOL
