Product Description
The African Spurred Tortoise, more commonly known as a Sulcata tortoise originates from dry desert areas of habitat throughout Central Africa and is one of the largest in the world with only the Galapagos and Aldabra (a.k.a Seychelles tortoise) giant tortoises surpassing the Sulcata in size.
Beware, the Sulcata tortoises are very fast growing and although only around 4-5 cms / 2 inches in size on hatching, they can reach up to 15-23 cms / 6-9 inches within the first few years of their lives. A mature Sulcata of around 15 years old can grow up to and exceed 75cms / 30 inches in length and live 50-70 years or more. They are a non-hibernating species and require heat all year round.
This species is listed as Annex B and is NOT required to have an Article 10 CITES certificate to be legally sold.
