I keep testudo myself, but recently noticed a Craigslist posting asking for help building a really nice indoor table for a sulcuta. While it WAS nice to see the enthusiasm to provide a beautiful and well-designed habitat, I was thinking that a properly kept sulcuta will outgrow an indoor table rather quickly, so I responded with the advice to consider making a proper outdoor set-up geared toward the future needs of this species instead of sinking time and $$$ into the super deluxe style table they were describing and explained why. The poster responded to me saying that they got this female at 3 inches and now 4 YEARS LATER it has only grown to 4.5 inches. This can't be a normal rate of growth, can it? Do people often keep 4+ year olds of this species in indoor tables? Please teach me! Thanks.
