He Won't Stop Breeding the Others

Thanks for the update.
i'm new so missed all the initial banter.
But i'd also love to see the photos, particularly the big group of males living in harmony together.
i too have always been told this is a recipe for disaster, but don't keep Sulcatas, so am very interested before I go to visit them in the wild soon, to see different captive methods.

Bob Bloom in AZ is a well know tortoise rescue / breeder and keeper. This video of a visit by the owner of Kamp Kenen here in Florida is well worth watching. Bob keeps allot of sulcata in a large open area. He discusses fighting and the torts, and how he manages it. Good stuff.

Thanks, Mike, all this is very useful for comparison with the wild state they live in.

I can definitely see the difference... Housing multiple males/large groups in that massive space compared to the average person wanting to house 2 males in the average backyard. 1 can work, the other....not so much.
