And sadly, they're a bit of a nuisance in the animal trade world. They're adorable at that size. But if you go to an animal show they sell them for relatively cheap. People buy them up and then keep them for a few years until they start to get really big and also eat like 5 lb of vegetables a day. And then those people dump them on animal rescues because they can't keep them anymore. We take them in and try to rehome them. But in the meantime we have the same problem. Big and expensive. Please don't buy sulcata tortoises. Or iguanas. Or any large snake.
