Two 4 yr old sulcatas

[Yvonne G]

I took in two young sulcatas this a.m. that are looking for homes. They're in pretty good shape with just slight pyramiding. Their story:

A friend of the person who turned them in had a male and female sulcata. The person who turned them in encouraged the friend to break the eggs because of there being so many sulcatas in the market, however, they didn't always see the nests. So these two hatched naturally in the ground. Eventually the female was lost due to a cave-in of the burrow. The friend gave the two hatchlings to the person who turned them in, who has since moved to a new neighborhood that isn't really conducive to good tortoise-keeping...small yard, hard pan, no vegetation and not easy to grow any. So she decided it would be best for the tortoises if they were given a new home. She also tried to talk the friend into turning in the big male, but they're not ready for that.

I'm not real sure, but looking at the direction the anal scutes point, I'm leaning towards female.

No fee adoptions, but I do have to come over and see the area where you plan to keep a tortoise to be sure its safe.

Would you like to drive to Wittmann and inspect my habitat?
I hope you find them a great home.

I don't know anything other than that one sentence because I didn't question it, but why didn't they try to dig her out? Tortoises can hold their breath for a very long time. Oh well...

Ok I'm interested, I'm in AZ near Phoenix and you can look at my enclosure in the enclosure section it's not an enclosure. It's my yard with a tiki hut for a hide and irrigation to water some grass and weeds and a self sustaining water bowl. Let me know
