Ok don't jump down my throat for the subject line! I was quoting something I recently read that was posted by a rescue organization. I never knew Sulcatas were overly aggressive and lay 100 eggs a year... Maybe it's because I'm new to all this but the overly aggressive part really had my scratching my head I've been around adults males and females and they never seemed aggressive towards people, I can see that being said during mating to another male competing but this was pointed towards people.
"sulcatas are the third largest species of tortoise in the world weighing up to 200 pounds or more, attaining this size in a very short period of time. Adult female sulcatas can easily produce 50 -100 eggs a year" "destructive non-housebroken animal of this size. A fully-grown sulcata is strong and aggressive"
I'm assuming in this one they are talking about wild caught ones? "These include infecting native wildlife with parasites and foreign diseases"
Can anyone else shed some light on this please
