African Spured Tortoises ( Sulcata )
A few words need to be said about this much loved but often abused tort . First of all they get huge . The average adult gets to be about 200 pounds !! Think I am full of it ? See Sulcata Reality Check on the Turtle Homes web site . And regarding abuse . Take a look at a rescue case on the Tortoise Aid site . Some of the rescues Annie has delt with just about had me in tears when I first went to her site . You will see what I mean . Our shelled friends do not deserve such treatment . Thank God folks like Annie are out there to help .
Remember if you want a sulcata make sure you find out EVERYTHING about them .
P.S. THEY DO NOT HIBERNATE !!!!!!!!!!
