This handy book is about the care and feeding of the African Spurred Tortoise (Geochelone Sulcata)in captivity. When we remove these lovely creatures from their natural environment, we do them a great disservice if we do not use an authoritative source about their needs, which are much different from the more common furry pets. This book provides the answers we need to keep them properly fed, housed, and healthy.

This book is a must have if you own a sulcata or are considering one. I was considering one until I read this book. Sulcatas not only get huge,they like to ram things.This book is an excellent reference and covers behavior,climate,breeding etc. I suggest all people considering a sulcata to get the book before the actual tortoise!!

Needed a book about caring for the new family pets. This book was informative and easy to read. It was straight to the point and hit most areas I had in question. I wish it could have provided a little more detail about behavior but I am beginning to wonder if there not a vast amount info available about sulcatas in general. Overall, this book is exactly what I needed.

I found this book to be very informative and helpful. There is a lot of conflicting information on the web about Sulcatas.
