Centrochelys sulcata
Tamaño: una tortuga Sulcata completamente desarrollada puede alcanzar fácilmente 30 pulgadas de tamaño y puede pesar más de 100 libras.
Dieta: Las tortugas sulcata son herbívoros que se alimentan principalmente de una dieta rica en fibra, como pastos y malezas.
Recinto: Guardo mis crías en una bolsa de plástico de 2 pies por 3 pies y las actualizo a medida que crecen, una Sulcata adulta necesitará un área de al menos 80 pies cuadrados, pero más grande es mejor y se recomienda si está disponible.
Manejo: a las tortugas no les gusta estar en el aire y no deben manipularse con frecuencia, una buena manera de interactuar con sus tortugas sin causar estrés es alimentándolas con la mano, observándolas interactuar con sus recintos y dejándolas caminar por el jardín supervisadas (si el clima lo permite). ).

Size: Yearlings range from 3-4 inches. A full grown Sulcata Tortoise can easily reach 30 inches in size and can weigh over 100lbs.
Diet: Sulcata tortoises are herbivores primarily feeding off high fiber diet like grasses and weeds.
Enclosure: I keep my hatchlings in a 2ft by 3ft plastic tote and upgrade them as they grow, a full grown Sulcata will need an area of at least 80 square feet but bigger is better and recommended if available.
Handling: Tortoises do not like being off the ground and should not be handled often, good ways to interact with your tortoises without causing stress is by hand feeding, watching them interact with their enclosures and letting them walk around the yard supervised (If climate permits).
