African Spurred Tortoise

One hatchling African Spurred Tortoise (Geochelone sulcata) is now available at Scaryguy's Exotic Pets!

Though these tortoises can make a very rewarding pet to those willing to take on the ownership responsibilities, please be sure to do plenty of research about the proper care of these beautiful giants before purchasing. The sulcata is the largest continental land tortoise and can attain a carapace length of over 2.5 feet and a weight of nearly 200 lbs. when full grown. This little guy will grow quickly on a varied, high fibre diet of grasses and leafy greens in a warm, dry enclosure and will require specialized care as it reaches adult size.



Red-Footed Tortoise
A sub-adult female red-footed tortoise (Geochelone carbonaria) is available for sale at Scaryguy's Exotic Pets!

This small tortoise species makes an excellent pet for beginner tortoise keepers. They are a hardy, long-lived species that can be a pleasure to keep. With an adult carapace size of 12 - 16 inches and a maximum weight of 30 lbs., Red-Foots can be housed indoors in a large custom made enclosure with all the necessary heating, lighting and humidity if
you do not have access to outdoor space. These tortoises will thrive
on a varied diet of vegetables and fruits with the occasional meal of
lean meat or low fat cat food for additional protein.
