Sulcata Tortoise Hatchling
$75.00
Sulcatas get very large, you will need a lot of apace when they are adults.. They are the third largest tortoise in the world. Growth rates of sulcatas are probably more variable than any other tortoise. You can have a 10-inch tortoise that is 3 years old or 10 years old. Many adult sulcata tortoises break the 100-pound mark within 8 years, so plan accordingly. Native to North and Central Africa, they thrive in warmer climates within the southern states of the United States.
Remember, for every tortoise bought from Tortstork, $10 is donated to a turtle/tortoise conservation group to help save these amazing animals.
Shipping is overnight. We use FedEx and is $60 flat rate fee. Shipping will be added to your order at checkout.

The Sulcata Tortoise (Geochelone sulcata), or African Spurred Tortoise, is the third largest tortoise, and is surpassed in size only by the giant island species from Aldabra and Galápagos. Sulcatas are from hot, arid regions of the Sahara desert in North Africa. The carapace is sandy-tan to yellow in color. Each scute is outlined by brown growth rings. The plastron is light tan to yellow in color with no markings. The golden to yellow-brown skin of African Sulcata Tortoises is very thick and the legs are covered in dull, overlapping spine-like scales. On their thighs they have large horns or “spurs” which is why they’re often referred to as the “African spurred tortoise.” Sulcata tortoises start out like all other tortoises, tiny and adorable. Please do your research into this species of tortoise before you buy one. Not only do these tortoises grow very large, they grow very rapidly; up to two and a half feet long. A male sulcata has the potential to grow to 150lbs, females can get to 100lbs (but are usually 60 to 80lbs) and they DO NOT hibernate. They can be kept indoors while they are very young, but as they get bigger, it is pretty hard to contain them indoors. And they do grow fast. When they are adults it is best if they are set up outside with access to a heated shed for cold weather. Starting life off as tiny, adorable, and extremely personable eating machines, Sulcatas are loved by many and usually their first tortoise.

I love our Sulcata from Randy. He arrived healthy and active. He spends a lot of his day exploring his area, sunning and eating. He is friendly too. It shows that Randy takes great pride in raising tortoises.

Ordering from Tortstork went very well. I was able to look through the variety of tortoises offered and read about them. I was then able to select the tortoise that would work the best for us. The tortoise was packaged well, shipping went easily, and he arrived ready for his new home. Our tortoise is settling in nicely. I recommend buying from Tortstork if you are shopping for a tortoise.

We are in love with our sulcata! He arrived, had his initial soak and immediately wanted to chow down. He’s been super active and my family is in love. Randy was very informative and kept me aware of shipping times and coordinated the best time to overnight our little one with an upcoming snow storm. 10/10 customer service, definitely recommend!

Bought for my father in law for his birthday. It has been a week and “Marshall” is doing great. He/she (idk the gender) came quick and at first he didn’t move, but once we followed the care instructions and put him in water he was full of energy. He is sure to be a loved member of the family for a long…..long time.
Brandi Callender (verified owner) –

My Sulcata arrived safe and healthy. He started eating after a day of adjusting. This is also the second tortoise I’ve purchased from here. The first one is doing fantastic and got a clean bill of health from his vet. I will definitely purchase any future torts from here.
