These are the two ivory sulcatas I believe I will be getting on Thursday. Still communicating so not exactly set in stone. One is from Richard fife, other from William Corwin.
I read that two hatchlings can live together, so long as there are multiple saucers for food. I'm not necessarily planning to breed them; gender is not known. In that case, would it be stressful to the little guys to have the same 4ft x 4 ft enclosure for about a month? At most, one year?
Also, each breeders assured me that their hatchling is healthy. I've read a few articles about what to look out for in unhealthy hatchlings, and can't see any obvious issues. I'd be devastated if I were wrong, though. If anyone sees anything obviously wrong, let me know please?
Neither are quite ready to be shipped. The first tortoise still has 2-3 weeks of growing to do, and the second (from fife) has a few more days at least. I'll be paying Thursday, though.
Some things I noticed about the Corwin tortoise; green stuff between toes, and looks like scrapes on the top of its shell?? It is a very young young hatchling so maybe it's just something newly hatched ones have. I was assured it is very healthy and the guys seemed INCREDIBLY knowledgable, like I'd look up what he told me and it would be stuff you guys might mention here or there in different forum topics, too.
