Hello, Jody, and a very warm welcome to Tortoise Forum.
Very wise to be trying to get the set up right before purchasing your friend for life!
Have a look at http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/beginner-mistakes.45180/
then http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/how-to-raise-a-healthy-sulcata-or-leopard-version-2-0.79895/
and http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/for-those-who-have-a-young-sulcata.76744/
These should provide you with most of the set up information you need.
If you then have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
We recommend getting the tortoise from a respected dealer, often tortoises from pet shops and some breeders are not started correctly.
Check out : http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/breeders-list.64666/ and down to the sulcata setion.
This has several great, friendly and knowledgeable people from whom you'll get a lovely, healthy, tortoise.
Most of them ship across the US and this is safe and reliable.
