I took in this male sulcata today. He weighs appx. 40lbs and is very personable. If you live in the Central Valley of California (Visalia area, Fresno/Madera area) and you want this male tortoise, give me a call at 559 298 7114. It is a no-fee adoption, but I have to come take a look at the yard where you want to keep him so I can be sure he's going to a safe place to live.2014 Rescue #60 a.jpg2014 Rescue #60 b.jpg 2014 Rescue #60 c.jpg

I don't know what he's been eating, but Misty says he really smells good!!

I've been pretty lucky this year with the way the sulcata rescues have come in. I adopt one out and free up my back yard (the only space I have now to house a stray sulcata) and within a week or so I get another one. I guess I could always divide up the back yard if I get two at a time.

I ran an ad on Craigslist when I had the 100lb'er to adopt out, and was able to add 8 more names to my I-want-a-sulcata list. So I shouldn't have any trouble placing this guy.

That sulcata is a dead ringer for my Jerry. Too bad I don't live in California.
