I have a large male about 150 pounds and was looking for some feedback if I should get another large sulcata and should it be a female or do they do ok by themselves.

We've been very patient hoverpilot..., but I think its time for some pics. We had a thread not too long ago about this weird size limit on sulcatas. It seems like many of them hit 32" and very few ever pass that mark. Kind of weird and arbitrary, but that's how it is. Ever put a tape measure under Rocky? How do you know he weighs 150?
Oh yeah, if you don't want 3 or 4 females in there breeding all the time, then keep him a bachelor. He'll be just fine that way.

I will get you some pixs tomorrow. I have been looking for my photos of rocky but I have over 9000 on my mac and I am not sure which folder I put them in. I have never measured Rocky but he almost filled the back of my Kia Serranto when I brought him home and it took 2 men struggling to lift him out and into his yard. I will get some pixs tomorrow so I apologize for being remiss on getting his photos into the forum but I have a good excuse for today. I do microchipping for our local animal shelter and help with adoptions. I was there from 10-3ish and we only did one adoption..bummer. too many animals, to much breeding and not enough homes. I think I will keep him a bachelor since I do have 5 other torts. 2.3 I think..
or is 3.2...

Get him a boomer ball...that's the big solid plastic ball you see bears and big cats bat around in zoos...excellent playmate for large sulcatas...it'll keep him entertained for hours.
