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.
