Hi everyone, i kinda like tortoise.

Can anyone recommend me a species where it can grow large size?

Currently a university student, want to take care of a small one, and keeping till i old.

Prefer a species that can grow big n live on land.

wow, thanks for intro man! he seem like nice guy to deal!

I got question here

Im university student currently living in a single room alone.

i planning to get a sulcata and take care of it for 3 years before i graduate ( hopefully it dont get too big)

my question is, can i make a housing that dont need those grass and just newspaper as base so i can clear up its poop easily?

and my room has air con, so is air con bad for my sucata?

im also afraid of smell, but renting another room just for my tortoise would be expensive. and putting it in the living room might get complains so i better not sweat.gif


Added on August 31, 2012, 3:33 pmok guys after much research, a sulcata is waaaayyy to be to handle unless I own a bungalow.

anybody have a smaller recommendation eventhou a sulcata sounds really awesome sweat.gif

how about red footed tortoise or leopard tortoise? anybody can intro where to get one?

prefer around perak/ kl

At 6" if established ex-pet I think worth RM 800 !!

BUT Leopard may be nice but not easy for beginner !! Just be warned , Cherry head is easy but I think non in market at the moment !!

Or were they ? This particular guy hatch on Merdeka Day !!!

Sounds like you did not read , learn or researched enough before attempting to get a tortoise as pet !!

But YES they do eat hay - all sort even those sold for rabbits ( any different ? )
