Hi! I'm new to the forum. I've kept tortoises off and on for over 20 years. I had a Sulcata about 10 years ago that was stolen. She was a hatchling when I got her, had her about 5-6 years. I was devastated.
A few months ago I adopted a 17 year old Sulcata named Tank. He is at least 100lbs and has proven to be quite the specimen!!! I adore him.
Taking care of such a large tortoise is very different than any I've had before. I would like advice from others where this is concerned.
He has a 20'x20' pen in our backyard but as much as we can he roams freely in our 1/2 acre backyard. I would leave him out more, but we have a pool.
So, any advice would be appreciated!!!
