Good Morning every one. I am 52 years old and have been involved in reptile husbandry for over 30 years. I currently own 4 sulcatas ranging from 4" to roughly 24". I have worked proffessionally with galapagos and aldaberas, I just cant afford one!!! LOL. Maybe someday! My sulcatas live in outdoor enclosures most of the time. The big guy has a 24'x36' enclosure with lots of grass and a 4'x4' hide box with radiant heat. The little guys have a 8'x8' grass enclosure with a 2'x2' hide box with radiant heat. Hoping one of the little ones turns out to be female. I have a farm in north florida and cant wait to get them up there as they will have a 1 acre enclosure that is pasture grass and will share it with a few pygmy goats.

Thank you!! I think they are one of the coolest animals to own. I have been fascinated by them since I was a child. I have 3 active Florida gopher tortoise borrows on my farm in North Florida. I also regularly monitor a breeding pair in a park near the beach here in Jupiter. Last spring I got to observe the breeding!!!!! Super cool experience.
