What tortoise can be housed with my Sulcata?

Very OT,but I believe that is the first time I've seen the word germane used here.

Hey there! Settle down now! BTW, I looked it up, just so I would sound smart.....I do that, sometimes. haha...guess I could have used "relevant", but I thought I might need it later in my reply and didn't want to use it twice.....LOL!

Out of curiousity, what kind of hassle was it to obtain permission to take yours out-of-state?

Doc

She didn't take them out of state. When Maggie moved to Oregon she thinned down her tortoise/turtle brood quite a bit and took hardly any with her. A few box turtles and, of course, Bob.

That's a lot of really pretty turtles!
Do you breed your CDTs?
I only have Gupta but I have been looking into getting another tortoise. I don't know what species of tortoise I want to get yet, any suggestions??

Thank you very much...I will tell them you said they are all pretty

CDTs are illegal to breed in captivity, you are not even allowed to house males and females in the same enclosure. So, nope no breeding for them...also, I house all male CDTs

hmmmmm? what type of tortoise? I would say settle in with your tort for now and then really research all sorts of species and their housing requirements and that will then give you a plan of attack on your next tortoise...just my opinion

Yea I will defentaly wait till next summer comes around so that he will be able to stay outside in a protected enclosure during the day. I will probably save up a ton of money to get a really beautiful leopard tortoise. There care is almost just like my sulcata Gupta so it won't be that much new and when next winter comes I will hopefully have two 3 foot by 15 foot tortoise tables in my room, I am going to find a way to sorta put one on top of other so that its possible tp fit two in my room

sounds like a sound plan and i look forward to seeing your indoor set up next season....
