Hey Chris! So your getting a sulcata? Do you already have one picked out? A hatchling, teenager or adult? Have you had tortoises before? Snoopy aren't I? Welcome!!

No I don't have one picked out, but I would like a hatchling. Preferably a male but i know that's a 50/50 shot. No i have never had tortoises but I'm excited to start. I may get two I don't know. but for now I'm working on getting materials to build my enclosure. I'm also going to be growing food so I need to get that going too. And if you ask more questions I'll keep going

Is that a promise or a threat to keep going if I ask more questions?

So why a sulcata? (and no, that was not said in a negative way )

Both I want a Sulcata because it gets big and and lives a really really long time. I mean how cool is it to have a member of the family that my kids, grandchildren and maybe great grandchildren will get to meet? I'm also pretty excited about building my tortoise box...

Waiting for parts.... Im custom doing everything, and I am getting Polycarbonate for the sides and bottom for ease of cleaning, That take awhile to make in the sizes I need.... its going to be 4'x8' to start with 15" walls. I'll try and put pictures up when its done. I also just bought a my first house and that needs a lot of work too... so I'm going in a lot of directions at the moment

 

[Jacqui]

Does sound like your busy. Try to take pictures as you go along, if you would. It really helps get a good idea of the work you put into the enclosure.
