FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW BIG DO THEY GET?
Full grown, a Sulcata will be approximately 300 pounds, whereas a Leopard will be 20-40 pounds.
DO YOU SHIP?
Yes, we do ship!! We use www.shipyourreptiles.com. Shipping charges are $50.00* Fedex pickup; $10.00 shipping box; $2.50 insurance (per hundred dollar value) [if desired].
We can only ship out from our farm on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday's; this is because we use overnight shipping and don't want any of our tortoises to get lost in the mail over the weekend as that could result in death.
* the $50.00 charge is based off of a hatchling weight and is valid in most parts of the continental United States.
CAN WE VISIT YOUR FARM?
YES!! Please do! If you are purchasing a tortoise from us, we prefer that you come tour our farm and look at our setup.
WHAT ARE YOUR HOURS OF OPERATION?
We are open essentially 24/7. As long as we are at home, we are open! This is just a hobby for us as we have daytime jobs as well. just shoot us a text or call us to see if we're home. (918-290-0596)
WHAT ARE SOME GOOD TREATS TO FEED?
Fruit!! Our tortoises love fruit! They will eat anything you can grow in the garden, with a few exceptions. Pumpkins are a great natural de-wormer, and they will eat every bit of a watermelon.

Be very careful who you listen to and where you look for information regarding Sulcata's. There is a lot of conflicting information on the internet. I personally say to pick one person and go with what they say and ignore everybody else's opinions.
