So..they didn't have any Greek Tortoises today I was a little bummed. But my fiance had to keep steering me away from the leopard hatchlings lol. They were on 7 different tables! Including the breeder that I got Dozer from 4 years ago
I also saw a couple walking around with a baby Sulcata (they had a lot of them too, $40 a piece ) And I walked up to see the baby, the woman then said she didn't think they got so big. Evidently they saw a young adult at one of the tables...I say young because she was only about 50 pounds. I told them that they can get well over 100 pounds and need a lot of room. They also need to be over wintered indoors (they are from PA). The woman said if she had known all of that they probably wouldn't have bought him. They just thought he was a cute little thing that would stay around the size of a Box Turtle. I did give her the name of this forum - maybe they'll join.
They did have another adult Sulcata there though and he was so smooth!!! Whoever raised him seemed to have done it right
