Just a note of caution: Its not a good idea to keep a desert tortoise and a sulcata together. I've taken in couple desert tortoises in the past who were quite sick because of being kept with a sulcata.

Thanks, Josh: That's why I didn't go into detail until I was asked to. Good idea to have it separate.
