Hello Tortoise Forum!
My name is Seth and I am going to get a sulcata tortoise. I have a Horsfield tortoise right now who is five years old. I have been in love with the sulcata tortoise species since I was four years old. I have read the care sheet for Sulcatas here and I find it excellent and I want to have a super smooth shelled Sulcata called Bowser. I have began construction on my own outdoor enclosure in my garden (24x18 garden size). I just wanted some help on the gadgets for a sulcata. Is reptibark a good substrate? Where can I get a similar plastic vivarium (similar to the ones on the care sheet for Sulcatas and leopards)? Distance from UVB light (T5 HO tube) to tortoise. Substrate depth? What to feed the baby Sulcata? For how long can I house my Sulcata in the Plastic Vivarium? What weight should they be and when (is there a kind of average weight I should be aiming for)? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to know any extra useful tips for sulcata tortoise care. Help is always appreciated!
