Turtle addict View Profile	For those wanting another sulcata...... This is a warning...when you put a male and female sulcata together all the male will want to do is breed...he could even stop eating and doing anything but trying to get to her. She will be so frustrated with him that she could bash him causeing very severe damage or killing him. The only way I know of keeping male and female sulcata together is to have a very large difference in sexes...like 4 females to one male...that way he can get all his "frustrations" out without bugging just one. But imagine the truth to this...4 female sulcata having around 20 babies each. Trust me I had three males and one female and the female had to be brought in the house because the males could smell her and drove her crazy. Besides the fact that once full grown they need a minimum of 20 square feet EACH on all sides of the cageing. I knew there was no way to care for 4 of them with the space they needed and am now only caring for two males...make sure you think all the possibilites through before getting another one...Mine are fine kept seperately and more friendly towards me and the kids.
