Massive commitment — be honest with yourself
I love my sulcata but I am honest that I underestimated the commitment. He now weighs 60kg, requires a shed with heating for cool nights, eats enormous quantities of hay and fresh weeds daily, and has broken through two fences. The cost and physical demands are substantial. He's a wonderful animal and I'm committed to his lifelong care, but I encourage anyone considering a sulcata to visit an adult in a rescue first. See what you're committing to.
