Not really sure. We started out with one of the larger sulcatas when it was a baby because the wife thought it was cute. Then just started hordering them after that. The water turtle was given to us by a friend that couldn't keep him anymore.

Right on. Funny how things happen. It was meant to be it sounds like. 👍
Pretty neat. They are pretty big. How heavy is the biggest one?
The last time I weighed my large male (about 2 years ago) he was 58 pounds. They can get up to 200 pounds in the right conditions.
Oh my word dude that’s insane big!
It’s so cool. Blows my mind they are that big and what they will get too. I bet there super strong 💪
He has broken my fence a couple of times and knocked me on my ass when I has hand feeding him once. They can be surprisingly fast when they want to be.
Oh wow. That’s crazy strong.
Do they come inside or did you build them something outside as a home?
If they come inside, that’s gotta be interesting sometimes.
Sounds like so much fun too
In the summer time they just live in backyard. In the winter I have a bunch of heating pads and blankets I wrap them up. If I get hit with blew 40, rain , and wind all at the same time then they come inside. I have woken up to a tortoises orgy in the living room once.
