(and what he posted):

Here's a care sheet

http://www.turtlehomes.org/usa/sulcatacaresheet.shtml

Just make sure if u let it roam around the house during the winter time that it wont try to claw through your walls. Mine don't, but then again they are very domesticated. Although they still leave nice gifts.

Now here's mine:

Another good site is www.sulcata-station.org/
Please remeber that they get very big. And will eat a lot.. Where are you going to keep him during winter when he's full grown? What are you going to do with him when you go to college? What if he gets a Resp. infection (or any other kind of turtle ailment)and you don't have the moola ($$) to bring him to a specialized vet? Are your parents going to be able to help out? Vet visits are really expensive.. Just some things to think about if you are going to get a sulcata... It's going to be your responsibility.... Geeze, I'm only 18 and I sound like a mother! SORRY!
EJ (I think it's EJ) has a picture of his daughter (I think it's his daughter) in a sulcata scrape (hole) neaxt to some adult sulcatas. Hopefully he can post it for us again.... I think it's EJ....
Here is a picture from the sulcata station enjoy!!

P.S. It's not that I don't think you can handle the responsibility (I don't even know you) I just want to make sure you know what you and your parents are getting into! )

Hi, Thank u for the link and the Help!

Ya, I know what I'm getting into- I've had one before... I'm still trying to read as many care sheets as I can b4 i get another tort though so I don't forget anything.
When he gets BIG I plan build him a pen and let him roam around my herp room (it's pretty big) as well.
I'm 14 and have about 25 other herps- they're totally my responsibility, and my parents know what we're getting into as well (lol, I think my dad wants it as much as i do!)
heehee, thank u very much, I appreciate it!
