Hello everyone
I have been in and out of this forums for a few years now. I just wanted to share this with you guys. I have been wanting a sulcuta tortoise for a long time now and I found a breeder that has a good reputation. As fate would have it though I happen to stop by this pet store which had quite a good number of reptiles and lo and behold they had one sulcuta tortoise. Now I've read enough threads that suggest not to buy one from a pet store but I felt like I needed to SAVE this one. The poor thing had rabbit pellets as substrate no hide of any sort. The enclosure just looked dry. It did look active when I was watching it. My question is should I just follow the guidelines Tom has penned for us from here on out or is there something else I should do prior to that? Any advice will help.. thanks in advance.
P.s. I'm having a hard time figuring how to upload a picture..
