I'd like to introduce myself...My name is Brandon and my family is the owner of a sulcata tortoise that we helped rescue.
This is Charlie our sulcata tortoise...
We got Charlie from our local Feeder's Supply store where he/she had been dropped off by his previous owner. The manager of the fish/reptile department at the store had previously owned Sulcatas herself. She quickly noticed that Charlie's shell had some pyramiding and had been damaged. She also noticed that Charlie was a she and not a he. They kept Charlie in a nice area in the store break room and let Charlie run around the store regular occasions. The problem came when Charlie got curious and started trying to eat the drywall in the store room. They quickly began looking for a new home for Charlie and I immediately stepped up to take her. She is approx. 15" long and we were told she is likely 3 years old based on what the previous owner told Feeder's Supply.
We have had Charlie for nearly two months and are enjoying every minute it. Charlie regularly gets to move outside during the day and enjoys lots of tasty treats...
