Petshop Tortoise

Is this a sulcata? It's in my local petshop. Not sure how it will do in the climate here in Ireland.

yes it is a sulcata and if you can you can make a set up like the one the pet store has for indoors and keep in mind it will get bigger and welcome to the forum

No i cant take him. I'd love to though. I have a little russian called Sheldon and he's about as much as i can handle

Yes thats a sulcata. Its got a perfect shell...seems to be doing ok. I wouldn't put it outside however, you'd need a big inside enclosure

Beautiful sulcata. Seems to be in a pretty humid area to have such a perfect shell.

He's just beautiful That's what we all strive for and can't seem to acquire...It can't be too humid, he's on rabbit pellets...the worst substrate you can use.

wow, he is beautiful!

in that photo it doesn't look like he'd fit into the enclosure anymore

 

[padjo32]

The rabbit pellets don't surprise me. The petshop he's in is the worst in the city and we all know it, kittens in tiny boxes and sliders in an inch of water!
Hope someone saves him soon, don't know how long his shell will stay so beautiful in there.

aktch23, the door is on the left side of the photo and i think its a double door but it'll be a tight fit
