• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

SULCATA TORTOISE

A couple more pics

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

Updated photos of PAT

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...
