My girlfriend has a sulcata Tortoise (african spurred tortoise) she loves him (well we guess it's a him... They can't be gendered until they're about 25 years old) and he is just celebrating his 1st birthday today. She got him when he was only a couple weeks old and still shaped like an egg. He's developing his spikes and spurs and he looks really wicked now!
He's a lot of maintenance though! He gets bathed almost daily and time outside as long as it's warm and not raining. He has a heat lamp in his cage. I'm just nervous about when he gets too being for a cage what the heck we are gonna do with him.... He can't just roam the house, can he? Like he moves pretty quick now, but when he gets older he won't be able to make it to any designated "potty place" in time, right?
But gosh he's smart! I joke that one days he's gonna lock us in the house and we're gonna find him with a knife in his mouth...
Anyone else have a Sulcata tortoise or something like it?
People with Pythons have to give them their own room I think.... Maybe that's what we will have to do.... Sooooo glad he's a herbivore though....
