sulcata tortoise habitat

Sulcata Tortoise Habitat

A glass aquarium, plastic tub or trough, or other enclosures are often used to house young sulcata tortoises for sale indoors. Substrates that can be used include aspen pellets, alfalfa pellets, or dirt. A hiding area needs to be provided. Indoor tortoise enclosures are often very dry due to the dry air in most homes along with heat lamps on the cage. Humidity problems can often be resolved by soaking the wooden hide log in water 1-2 times a week. The evaporation will increase humidity in the hiding area and decrease chances of shell pyramiding. 

baby Sulcata tortoises grow FAST!

With proper care, a sulcata hatchling will quickly outgrow its original enclosure and will need larger amounts of salad every month.  Eventually, most sulcatas end up being moved to an outdoor enclosure. Adult sulcatas need a lot of space, at least 100 sq ft of floor space per adult tortoise. Your outdoor enclosure should have a day-night fluctuation of around 15°F, with a spring/summer/fall daytime high upwards of 95°F and a nighttime low of 80°F or lower.  There may be spots that are much warmer as long as the sulcata has an appropriate retreat from the intense heat and sunlight. At all times, there should be a cool/hot zone of 85°F for the tortoise to retreat to if it is too warm or too cold.

sulcata tortoise lighting

Sulcata Tortoise Lighting

Recent research shows conditions of sulcata tortoises for sale has less to do with the diet and is much more associated with humidity in their environment.

Growing tortoises need direct access to UV lighting to properly grow and develop. There are several ways of providing UV lighting for your sulcata tortoise for sale online. Fluorescent bulbs come as a long tube 18-48 inches long or in a small coil that screws into standard light sockets. Growing tortoises need to have direct access to this lighting and it needs to be no further than 24 inches away from the floor of the cage. Fluorescent bulbs provide little heat, so heat lamps are also needed. The second type of lighting is heat plus UV lighting together in the same bulb (Zoomed Powersun). These bulbs provide better UV lighting for a longer duration. No beneficial UV light gets through your home windows either, so placing them by a window has no benefit. Taking baby tortoises outside for natural sunlight is also beneficial for them.

There should be a cage temperature gradient during the day of approximately 85-95 F. Nighttime temperatures should remain above 70 F.
