Hello From New Sulcata Owner

Josh's Tortoise · 31-08-2010, 11:36 AM

Hi,

after doing a reasonable bit of reading and stuff, finally getting my lad a baby Sulcata.

I have read a lot of the stories about how big they get, etc, so am planning to convert the shed and set up a big area in the garden for her once she gets bigger.

I did try to post a question on another page from tis, but doesn't seem to have landed, unless it gets checked by admin first??

Anyway, anybody with tips for Sulcata ownership, books recommended, etc would be gladly received.

Thanks,

Pete

thanks Danny - no worries about reviewing posts, wasn't sure about protocol, etc.

finally found the post on which breeds need an Article 10 hidden away under re-homing section,and these big fellas seem to be exempt, which did surprise me.

cheers,

Pete
