SULCATA TORTOISE

congrats!! i saw them there....it was tempting!

S/he's adorable!

Please keep updating with pictures and what you're doing with set ups.

The first is the 'official' measuring. The second is the "What are you lookin' at?" pose...

S/he's a cutie! If I give it back in five minutes,can I steal the picture?

At 3 wks, Pat was 2 1/8 inches long and weighed in at 40 grams.

Now, at about 2 months, Pat weighs in at 50 grams & has grown to almost 2 1/8 inches long!

Who knew a tort could be such an awesome pet?!

I have two Sulcattas that are still kept indoors since they are small, I also have a desert tortoise, my desert tortoise has a large outdoor pen area fenced off with black rod iron ornamental fencing, we hammered in metal stakes every couple inches around the perimater of his pen to keep him from digging under his pen. When the Sulcatta baby's are bigger we will build a very large pen for them using cinder blocks and hammer re-barb in around the perimater every couple inches several feet down to prevent them from digging out. I think that would be a lot less exspensive than burying blocks or pouring cement.
I sure do love my tortoises though, they are very cool pets.

Oh, by the way Pat is very cute! One of mine has extra scutes too, but it makes it easy to figure out who's who.

Thanks. I'm looking forward to building Pat's outside pen. I've figured out what I want, now I just need to figure out where to put it...
