Hello from South Carolina ?

[KayL]

Hello! I just moved to SC from Canada early this year. My husband and I live on an acreage with our horses and dogs.

I’ve always been interested in owning a Sulcata. It won’t be anytime soon, but with more time / research I am hoping to be the owner of a happy and healthy tortoise. I have some reptile experience; back home I owned several BCI’s and BCO’s and was a member of our local Reptile & Amphibian Society. I loved keeping boas, but my husband doesn’t like snakes! ?

Anyway, thank-you for having me on this forum. I look forward to learning and interacting with lots of interesting / knowledgeable people.

All the best!

Welcome K! Are you interested in a 7 year old 40lb Sulcata that is in great health? I have just begun my search for a good home for him as I rescued him a few years back and he is ready for a southern climate home now. Let me know if you are interested.

They are great and you won't regret it. I love watching my dinosaurs wander. LOL But I would ask others about the stability of their burrows. One of mine is just starting to dig long burrows and I would worry one could cave in under the weight of a horse. It's just something to think about if you plan on keeping them in the same space.

Good luck finding your perfect shell baby, no matter what its age. You'll fall in love so fast.
