African Spurred Tortoise
News:
The African spurred tortoise, also know as the sulcata tortoise or Geochelone sulcata is the third largest tortoise species in the world. They typically grow to just over 24-inches and over 100 pounds. There are examples as large as 32-inches long and over 200 pounds.
This is one of the most active and curious tortoise species around. They make great pets but are too big for many tortoise enthusiasts that dont live in a climate that has mild winters and have a yard for their tortoise. Many however are doing just fine in cold climates where their owners have built heated tortoise houses for their pets.
They grow about 2-inches to 4-inches a year. Dont expect to drop your tortoise off at a local zoo when it gets too big for you. Most zoos are not interested in another African spurred tortoise.

Important:
All of my turtles and tortoises are sold for the explicit purpose of enhancing the public's awareness, edification, and education of these wonderful creatures. I further reserve the right to collect data, relating to each turtle or tortoise that has been sold (from the original purchaser), for the purpose of gaining a better understanding of turtle and tortoise care, captive reproduction, longevity, etc. This information may be used in future publications, updating care sheets, articles, etc. When possible credit will be given to the individual contributor but no monetary compensation will be paid for any information that is used or published.
All leopard tortoises and African spurred tortoises require a HEALTH CERTIFICATE to ship out of Arizona. Currently all my prices include the cost of this CERTIFICATE.
