Hi there,
I'm after some advice/ opinions
I'm just getting back into tortoises after a bit of time off and am getting a sulcata. I know what getting into these guys entails and am prepared for it all.
My friend owns a good reptile store here in the uk so i asked him to source me a sulcata that was larger than a hatchling. He got one in for me to have a look at from his supplier. I asked,and so did he, for the smoothest one they had.
It is not smooth at all when it arrived!
Now,the Q is what do I do?
I feel bad to the animal sending it back to a supplier,especially when I can offer it a good life,but I just really wanted a smooth one to start with to grow into a lovely smooth adult,like a lot of your guys on here.
I will get some pics up for you to look at soon as I get them uploaded.
Is it possible to grow this out etc? I know some people have with others,but please have a look at the pics( when I put them up) and tell me what you think?
Please don't think of me bad for this as I know it sounds bad basing this on looks,it's just I've really whittled my collection of reptiles down so I can keep a sulcata and I wanted it to be 'right'
Many thanks for the replies i recieve and pics will be up ASAP
