Hello all, My name is Amanda. I just bought a baby Sulcata tortoise. He arrived today. He seems healthy and happy. He's kinda sluggish, basking in the warmth of the lights.
I have only previously had 2 box turtles in the past. They escaped through a fence. My children and I(3of them, ages 10,8,and 5) have always wanted other turtles/tortoises, so I felt after extensive research that a Sulcata would do well. We have about an acre of land/yard fenced for him to graze on if needed when he gets bigger.
I am sooooo excited to have this lil guy. He's so cute!! My children love him too! I hope that by teaching them about how to take care of him he stays healthy and stays with our family for a long time.
I love this forum, it's very helpful so far. I hope to be posting pics soon of the setup I have for him. Take care all,
Amanda
