The African sulcata tortoise also known as the African Spur thigh tortoise for sale, got its name from the Latin sulcus, which means furrow. The name describes the deep grooves on the scutes (the plates of the shell) of the tortoise. Sulcatas are native to the Sahara desert. Some of the most popular tortoises for sale in the world, the Sulcata tortoise for sale gets big and when raised properly, it’s personality can be just as big!

When looking for a baby sulcata tortoise, the well started 6-month-old sulcata tortoise for sale is highly recommended over newly hatched sulcata tortoise hatchlings for ease of care.
Sulcatas have sandy, ivory known as the ivory sulcata tortoise or ivory sulcata tortoise for sale,, or golden yellow-brown skin and two or more very large and prominent tubercles (or spurs) on the rear legs. On the carapace (top shell), each scute or plate is tan to yellow at the center and outlined by brown growth rings. The plastron (bottom shell) is light tan to yellow.
The skin of an African Sulcata for sale is very thick and the legs are covered in dull, spiny projections. The thick skin and spines are intended for protection from predators but also work as insulation, keeping the tortoise cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. The prominent spurs on the rear legs serve no observable function according to scientists but, from my own personal experience, they wag when they are happy like a dog’s tail.
Sulcatas are the third largest breed of pet tortoises for sale in the world, surpassed in size by the giant tortoises of the Galapagos Islands and Seychelles. Not only do sulcatas grow very large, they grow very rapidly — up to two and a half feet long and 80-110 pounds or more in 5 to 10 years. On average, they grow to be 36 inches and can weigh as much as 150 pounds at its largest maturation. The oldest sulcata recorded lived to be just over 80 years old. When purchasing a baby sulcata tortoise for sale, or multiple baby sulcata tortoises for sale please consider they are one of the longest-lived pet tortoise for sale in the world.

I purchased a well started baby sulcata tortoise for sale last May and he is doing great. I had a lot of questions and CBReptile.com customer service was awesome and very helpful! They really did spend the extra time to educate me on proper care and that to me is a big deal! Highly recommend these guys and gals for captive bred reptiles!

CBReptile.com has always been my go to spot for any reptiles for sale. I have purchased a Sulcata tortoise last year and he is like a little dog. Loves his head scratched and neck rubbed. I also have purchased my daughter a pair of leopard geckos and they arrived safe and sound the following morning and all of my animals have been as healthy as can be since I received them. If you are considering purchasing any reptile for sale or tortoise for sale definitely give CBReptile a shot and they will earn your repeat business like they did mine!

Last June I purchased a well started baby female sulcata tortoise (african spurred tortoise) and she is doing excellent. I have had some questions on properly setting up my sulcata tortoise habitat and they were quick to answer and very helpful. Shipping also was excellent and arrived the morning after I purchased them.
