Hi I am new here,but I am hoping to get some good advice.
I have a 1 year old (about 4" sulcata.

She currently lives in a tortoise table,with supervised outdoor time.
I have already built her an out door enclosure with doghouse ect...

BUT....I recently was approached by someone to see if I wanted to take their 8" (probably 3-5 pound) sulcata.

I said no,but they are asking again.
I am still unsure.
I really dont know the sex of either,mine was temp sexed female,but that is 50/50 anyway.
And the size difference is pretty big.

So should I just avoid this and just concentrate on the one little one,or take on another?
I live in Phoenix so the temps are good,and they will live outdoors(with heated house for cold days ect.

Any advice would be great!!Thanks

Do what feels right. If you want another one and can afford it-go for it.

Before getting into a life long commitment, I would do as much research beforehand as possible. They're going to get really big. They will need outdoor space. They will need to have heat, year round. I would start with Melissa Kaplan's very informative page: http://www.anapsid.org/sulcata.html. She can be a bit of a downer, but it's written in a way to try and make sure that you do really want a sulcata before getting one.
