So, I am glad to announce that I will soon have a sulcata tortoise! I have been reading, planning, and waiting for one for about two years now. I am ABSOLUTELY excited for this new addition and for caring for this little one. Currently, it is a little over a month old. I have decided that I will wait until I graduate from college on May 24th, and after I go on a trip from June 5-12, to get it. I am hoping to be receiving and having everything setup sometime in June. I would hate to receive it and then leave for a week, I don't think I would want to leave! Anyways, enjoy the cute pictures.

So cute. It's easy to forget how small they start out.

I will be getting it from Katherine. She has some beautiful babies that are very effectively taken care of!

Thanks, Jason! Much appreciated. I am glad that you decided to take on the challenge. I am an absolute softy for just about ALL animals, so I feel what you had in mind.
I have been waiting to get a sulcata for a while, and I am glad it did not work out when I had decided to possibly get one before. I believe I am ready to take on this little one into my "forever home". It jut needs to come faster!

Do you see that much of a difference? I see a tad.
