Where did you buy your sully?

Diet has very little to do with it.

I wish I could get $189 a piece for mine. I'd retire and start my new life as a tortoise farmer right away.

Right?!? My guys were $40 each. And the guy i bought them from ended up having at least 2 large clutches... Not bad having about $4k extra a year.. It'd be especially good if you could sell to tort enthusiasts instead of general public...

I got my sulcata (a rescue) from a bird and puppy show and sale. They were wanting $200 for "her"(actually it was a male..I knew it as soon as I picked it up and saw that the plastron was concave and a few days later him exposing himself.). So I asked if they would trade 2 Bearded Dragon. The owners daughter wanted money so she could buy a bird. So I went home and talked it over with my better half. Once she heard they wanted a bird she said " hey we have a bird they could have... that screaming Quaker that drives me crazy all day long" Went back to talk to the people who had it and we ended up making an even trade. All of us were happy with the trade. I also got my Leopard Tortoise from a trade of off Craigslist for the two Bearded dragons I was wanting to trade for the Sulcata.

My sulcatas were all rescued or adopted from people who couldnt provide for them when they outgrew their aquariums, I know also have their offspring : ) leopard tortoises were purchased off a rep site by a friend who couldn't afford vetting when they were ill so i guess they were "adopted" too. As a result I try to be super careful about who I rehome all our hatchlings too : )
