I know most of you may know this mission statement, but I can't help but plagurize from it. It's a goal that all of us that keep Sulcata strive to reach.

Image"This website is devoted to providing accurate, researched information on the proper care and feeding of Geochelone sulcata tortoises, which are also known as African Spurred Tortoises, African Spur-Thighed Tortoises, African Desert Tortoises, or by various other names

You will find accurate, useful information here on how to feed, house, and otherwise care for your sulcata tortoise, no matter what your level of expertise. We keep sulcata tortoises, and we work closely with other sulcata keepers around the world.

Our goal is to help you take the best possible care of your sulcata tortoise."

Thanks for stopping by!
