Hello (:

My name is Brittany. I have a 6 month-old Sulcata Tortoise named Eloise! I'm quite new at tortoise care, and I'll probably have many questions.

These are care sheets , one is for leopard tortoises but it works really well for sulcatas . Tom's how to raise hathcling sulcatas is the most important though

Here is a picture of me and my Fluffy for size references , he is four years old and 15 pound Sulcata male they get big , and I mean REALLY BIG really fast
Most owners use a four feet wide , eight feet long tortoise table to house them indoors and that only lasts about three years before they have to be moved outside with a heated shed for colder days and a very very sturdy fence
