My Sulcuta tortoise is over 100 pounds. I am trying to find a heating pad or planked for him. Everything I have looked is in inches. I guess I don’t know what to look for.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you

It might depend where Sanger is located (US or other).

If US, there are many places on-line to order one.

One example..

Thank you. I was on their site yesterday evening . None of them seemed big enough. I'm in the US. I'm east of Fresno CA. It can in the low teens.

I use the Stanfield mats from Osborne industries for my sulcatas because they have sizes that suit me best. 3x4 feet for Walker because of his size 150 pounds. The smaller ones have 18x24 inches. And building a new house and have a 2x3 foot mat for it.

I also use Osborne pig blankets, like Turtulas-Len. I buy mine right from the factory. My 110+lb. sulcata was perfectly comfortable on the 2'x3' pad. I like that size because it leaves room in the shed for him to get off the pad if he wants to. You don't have to have a large pad for a large tortoise, the 2'x3' is just fine:


Don't buy the cheapy controller. Get the good one:


They usually ship right away. I've always received my order within a week.

Here's what my tortoise's shed looks like inside:

The controller and timer:

I started out with the pad on the wall, but I didn't feel like he was getting warm enough, so I moved it to the floor:

You have to protect the cord otherwise he'll dig it off the wall and get it all messed up:

The tortoise in my pictures is the same size as yours. He does just fine on the 2'x3' pad.
