I have an African Spurred Thigh Tortoise (aka Sulcata Tortoise) in addition to Toby. His name is Henry and he is 3 years old. My bf got him for me for Christmas 3 years ago because he knows I love turtles. Well, little did I know that Henry will be around longer than I most likely will. When I first got him, he was no bigger than a matchbox car and now he is bigger than my palm.
It's funny cause Toby is so afraid of him. Every once in a while we try to have them play together but Toby just can't seem to warm up to Henry. Hopefully, in time. Eventually, Henry will need his own room. He will reach full growth by 18 to 20 years and can weigh anywhere from 80 to 100 lbs. They live on average from 50 to 100 years. Overall though, he's great...definitely my most exotic animal. |
