Lorbiecke Farms, Zoo & Gardens present the titan tortoise Sulcata.
Meet one of the true giants of the tortoise world! The Sulcata tortoise, African spurred-thighed tortoise, is the 3rd largest of the titan species, growing into an incredible, powerful animal that can reach over 100 pounds and develop a beautifully sculpted, rugged shell.
These amazing reptiles are known for their friendly personalities, curiosity, and impressive presence. Sulcatas are active grazers that love exploring their space, bulldozing little paths, and interacting with their keepers. Watching them grow from a tiny hatchling into a massive living dinosaur is an experience unlike any other.
One of the most remarkable things about Sulcatas is their incredible lifespan. With proper care, they commonly live 70–100+ years, meaning you’re not just buying a pet. You’re welcoming a generational companion into your life.
Raised correctly, they thrive on a diet of grasses, greens, and hay, and, although needing indoor shelter at a young age, do best with plenty of outdoor space to roam, graze, and bask in the sun. Their hardy nature and bold personality make them a favorite among tortoise enthusiasts.
Price: $200 per hatchling
$300 for Two
