Yearling Sulcata Tortoise
Centrochelys sulcata
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).
