Hi all,
I'm brand new here!
I've always been fascinated with turtles/tortoises, but have only owned a couple red eared sliders in my lifetime. I've always wanted a Sulcata but never had the room or lived in the right environment for one. My husband and I recently planted roots in sunny FL and we have around an acre of space (so with some convincing on the husband's part) I plan on buying myself one for my birthday coming up.
I debated for quite a while on a rescued/older one or a buying a hatchling from a breeder. I think I'd prefer to go that route, and watch them grow from the start.
I've been reading and digesting the WEALTH of information on this site. I know enough to avoid pet stores. Are there any particular breeders on this forum or anywhere else you can personally recommend? I want to buy from someone with HUMANE practices.
