How 'bout some pics of your giants...

[floridajake]

Who has the biggest sulcata? Let's get some pics of your big guys, preferably with someone next to them for scale. The guy I adopted my male from also had a 150 pounder that had to be at least 2-1/2 feet long. I wish I had taken a pic. He looked like some of the smaller galaps and aldabrans I have seen in zoos.

OK, I'll get it started. I know for a fact there are some much bigger guys out there. This is my 7 year old sulcata who I adopted about 5 months ago, and my 6 year old son.

Check the photo section for more.. i know several of us have posted our big guys.

I like the idea of having the pictures here under this subject title. But you'll have to wait for mine. I live alone and have to wait for someone to come over so I can get a picture with the tortoise next to a person. But I will...I promise!!

My sister will be coming to visit me in January. I'll get a picture of Dudley for this subject then.

Yes, indeed he does look like a giant. Someone up there in Corvallis must have been playing "tip the giant!"

Yeah, I couldn't figure how to tip him back...

This statement will be very true in 10 or 15 more years! It doesn't take very long to get super-sized.

I am not sure if my girl Ella counts as a giant quite yet, but she will get there soon I think with the warmer temps and good food I can tell by picking them up that they have put on a lot of weight.

I wear a size US 8 1/2 shoe

Now we're talkin'. Thanks for moving this over to the photo section, wasn't much going on over in sulcata central. Keep the photos coming.

These tortoises are so cute!

Ok, it took me a while, but I finally have a couple pictures for this "giant" category. This is Maggie, my sister, and Dudley. He weighed 98lbs about 2 years ago and I haven't weighed him since.

And this is Maggie in the Aldabran shed with SO, the smaller one, on the right, and BO, the bigger one on the left. I have no idea, but I THINK they weigh as much as Dudley due to their size.

Yvonne I was just wondering where is Clovis CA? I live in Alhambra CA and have lived in CA all my life and I can't say that I've ever heard of Clovis. Your Sulcata is wonderful by the way.

 

[Yvonne G]

Clovis is butted up against the east side of Fresno, right in the middle of the San Joaquin Valley!

Yvonne, is Maggie camera shy or just the tortoises? We can't see either of their faces. Oops except the tort in the 1st pic.
