My name is Tom. I live in Southern California and was an active member in the California Turtle and Tortoise club since the early 1980s. I stopped attending regular meetings about ten years ago but do stop in about once a year to see old friends. I started out with California desert tortoises and evolved into a Sulcata owner and breeder.
Around 1996 I went to Florida and bought three full grown wild caught Sulcata tortoises. I produced allot of babies for about four years and handed out care sheets with each one. ThenI realized that there were going to be way to many Sulcatas and not enough homes for them. I stopped breeding them and now have one female Sulcata and a pair of leopard tortoises S. p. babcocki. & babies. I am currently searching for another older female leopard tortoise.
