My wife and I are proud owners of a 7 month old Sulcata Tortoise. Looking for people who are experienced in tort care and seeing pics of other peoples torts.
How long have you had your new pet? Be sure to sit back with your laptop and read through the "Enclosures" and "Food and Diet" sections of this forum; there is also a good care sheet for "African Spurred-thigh Tortoises" or whatever the technical term for Sulcata is; someone will post the link soon.
You have taken on a member of the magnificent and lively, 3rd largest land tortoise species. TFO has many longterm keepers and experts on Sulcatas, so do a search for threads by Tom and maggie3fan to get yourself started on Sulcata-specific care requirements.
I envy you having the resources to raise a Sulcata! Please post some photos for us to admire your Chelonian friend and his enclosure. Here's one way: http://tortoiseforum.org/thread-5245.html , or try tinypics.com.
Welcome! You are in for an unbelieveable and often unexpected fun life with your new tortoise. Lucky us, with your help, we will also get to enjoy this wild adventure.
