A Two-Headed Turtle is quite rare, but when two-headed reptiles occasionally surface, it is the result of conjoined-twin births. BBC: Shell shock at two-headed tortoise

A turtle collector found a two-headed turtle in September 2007 and sold it to Big Al’s Aquarium Supercenter in East Norriton, Pennsylvania. The store owner said that the Two Headed Turtle is not for sale, but will remain on display at the store for customers to observe.  Turtle power boosted by second head

The same collector, an unnamed man from Florida, reportedly sold another Two Headed Turtle to a different Big Al’s store in the late 1980s.  Two-headed turtle goes on display

A two-headed turtle may be a bit more demanding as far as its health and well-being are concerned. But with proper care, it should be just as enjoyable as its single-headed counterpart.

Two Headed Turtle Unique Reptile

The turtle has one head at either end of its body and two pairs of front legs, but only one set of back legs and one tail. The Two Headed Turtle likely would not have survived long in the wild, since it walks and swims awkwardly, which would make it an easy target for predators.

Sulcata tortoise hatchlings for sale

Sulcata tortoises are sometimes referred to as African spurred, and just spurred tortoises. As recently as a few decades ago Sulcata tortoises were rare in the United States. However, they have shown an amazing ability to adapt to various climates and habitats in captivity. This, coupled with their low cost combined with a curious personality make them very popular that are commonly sought after by first-time tortoise owners. Sulcatas have great personalities and can make great additions to any reptile family. Keep in mind, however, that these guys get big. If you are in an area where you need to bring your new tortoise indoors during the winter, consider a smaller species. Slightly smaller African tortoise species include the leopard tortoise and the Giant South African leopard tortoise.

If you’re looking for baby Sulcata tortoise habitat or Sulcata tortoise enclosure information, visit our care section. It is a good idea to do your Sulcata tortoise care-related research prior to purchasing your new baby Sulcata tortoise for sale.

African Sulcata tortoise Lifespan:

Did you know that the Sulcata tortoise lives anywhere from 80-100 years?

Baby Sulcata tortoise Size:

A very large tortoise, the African Sulcata is the 3rd largest in the world growing from 24 to 30 inches. Sudanese Sulcata tortoises actually get even larger with some reaching 36″!

Sulcata tortoise for sale – Appearance:

Often males are much larger than female Sulcata tortoises for sale. The adult male Sulcata tortoise has a deep concavity in the posterior half of plastron. Also, the male African Sulcata tortoise has long, thin tails tipped by a horny curving spur. Secondly, female Sulcata tortoise for sale has a more rounded appearance. Because female Sulcata tortoises have features that are not so exaggerated and a short, blunt tail. Also, adult Sulcata tortoises’ carapace is a uniform brown. Lastly, the plastron, head, and limbs are a uniform yellowish. In contrast, juvenile Sulcata tortoises for sale have a pale yellow carapace with brown on the scutes, a yellow-white plastron and lighter areoles on the carapace plates.

Juvenile Sulcata tortoise for sale temperature

Keeping your Sulcata happy and healthy also includes having the proper temperatures in your enclosure. Offering a gradient that varies from 82-99 during the day is perfect. Nighttime temps should be in the 77-82 range. Keep in mind that the basking area should always be in the neighborhood of 94-99 though it can cool down in the evenings. Sulcata for sale like all tortoises need to thermoregulate. In order to allow your tortoise proper thermoregulation, providing a gradient of temperatures is key.

baby Sulcata for sale humidity

Humidity is a huge part of raising a healthy baby Sulcata tortoise for sale. Baby Sulcata for sale require higher humidity as a rule of thumb when compared to adults. Not only is humidity responsible for proper shell growth and overall appearance, but it is also pivotal for survival. When tortoises are kept in areas that are much too dry, they eventually will die from dehydration. Even if you soak your baby tortoise daily, if the humidity is kept below 50%, you will see your animal decline within a few weeks of arrival. At tortoise town, we recommend using 4″ of a substrate which allows you to spray it down with water each morning. By spraying the substrate, you are able to create a humid “micro-climate” for your baby Sulcata for sale tortoise to bed down into.

Baby and Juvenile Sulcata tortoises for sale – diet

Feeding a high-grade diet of a wide variety of greens and veggies are recommended. If you were asking yourself what do I feed a Sulcata tortoise? or What is proper Sulcata tortoise diet? You’ve come to the right spot! We chop and combine fresh greens and veggies daily and feed 5 days a week. Tortoise town uses Collard, mustard and beet greens. Also, we use Romaine, Kale, Spring Mix, Soaked and softened Mazuri tortoise chow, Squash, tomato, and zucchini. Baby Sulcata for sale enjoy a wide variety of greens, veggies and weeds.

baby Sulcata tortoises for sale – supplements

Calcium and supplements including vitamin D3 are important and should be dusted or sprinkled on food twice a week. It is important to be sure you are giving your tortoise adequate UVB exposure as well so they can produce and metabolize Vitamin D3. Without providing access to UVB, your tortoise will not be able to digest or metabolize the calcium you add to its food! Tortoise town uses a 50:50 mixture of calcium with D3 and Vionate multivitamin and dusts our food twice a week.

baby Sulcata for sale – Water

Always provide your baby Sulcata tortoise ample access to water. Soaking your tortoise daily should be done every day until 24 months of age for 5-10 minutes OR until your tortoise poops. Whichever comes first ends the bath time! Be sure to use VERY shallow water. Even 15 seconds in deep water will kill your new tortoise quickly!

Juvenile Sulcata tortoise for sale – Sulcata tortoise Size

African Spurred tortoises are large animals. They are the 3rd largest tortoise in the world! Adult Sulcata tortoises reach sizes of 24-28″ and up to 150 lbs. Depending on the age selected, baby Sulcata tortoises from tortoise town arrive as hatchlings, or well started babies and grow slowly. At 10 years of age, Sulcata are normally 10-12″ and 30-40 lbs. Sulcata tortoises are large and in charge.

Sulcata tortoises love to graze in the yard!

During hot summer days allow your baby Sulcata tortoise for sale to roam in a predator-free enclosed garden. Because of their large size and grazing habits, these tortoises will greatly benefit from being outdoors when the climate allows it. Ensure that there is adequate shade, hiding spots, and access to a shallow dish of water. A dry grassy area is ideal for your new hatchling Sulcata tortoise to graze. These large tortoises need a sturdy fence that extends underground due to their tendency to burrow. Daytime temperatures can be up to 100 F and nighttime temperatures should not drop below 75 degrees F.

baby Sulcata tortoise for sale – Water

Provide a shallow water dish for your baby Sulcata tortoise A shallow dish of water should be provided at all times, and a muddy wallow may be used as well. If you’re looking for other reptiles for sale, be sure to check out our sister site.

baby, Adult and Juvenile Sulcata tortoises for sale

We guarantee that you will absolutely love your new baby Sulcata tortoise so much, that you will want another soon after meeting him or her. If you are considering a pair of Suclata tortoises, keep in mind that females get along well, and if you are planning on keeping both male and female it is recommended to get 2 to 3 females for every single male.

African spurred tortoise hatchlings

If you like the African Sulcata tortoise but think it is too big of a pet tortoise for you, consider another African tortoise, the Leopard tortoise. Leopard tortoises only get about half the size of the African Sulcata tortoise, or African Spurred tortoise. The leopard tortoises are a bit more expensive simply because of lower egg counts, and lesser supply of baby leopard tortoise for sale. At Tortoise Town, we breed both leopard tortoise as well as the Giant South African Leopard tortoise.

The mata mata turtle for sale is one of the neatest-looking turtles on the planet. It looks like debris found at the bottom of a vernal pool, such as leaves. In the wild someone might walk right past a large specimen. The carapace contains brown, red and black coloration. The species has a wide head and a pointy nose. Its neck has a rigid texture to help with the camouflage. Hatchling mata matas are more brightly colored and appear whitish or yellowish like a tropical leaf.

Mata Mata Turtle Size | baby mata mata turtles for sale

Mata mata turtles can measure more than 2 feet long. However, the typical size ranges from 16 to 20 inches long for full-sized adults.

Mata Mata Turtle Life Span

Exact details for the mata mata turtle life span is not really known, but most documentation shows the turtle’s average life is anywhere from 40 to 75 years. Some turtles can live more than 100 years if given the right care.

Mata Mata Turtle Caging

Mata mata turtle like slightly acidic water with a pH near 5 or 6. Increase acidity by adding sphagnum moss, which is very acidic. Shallow water is a good idea. A water depth of 8 to 10 inches for an adult, or 3 to 4 inches for a hatchling, is sufficient. Although these turtles spend much of their time in the water, they don’t swim around much. They lie still on the bottom most of the time.

Larger mata mata turtles, 16 inches and longer, require larger tubs or setups at least 4 feet by 4 feet. Smaller turtles can do well in smaller enclosures. The enclosure should allow for adequate room for the mata mata to move around. Make sure you have good filtration with these turtles. Oxygen flow is key because it helps fight unwanted bacteria in the water. Water should be changed regularly and kept as clear as possible.

Aquatic plants or artificial plants can be added for hiding places, which help reduce a mata mata’s stress. A log, branch or rock is a good idea for a basking area. Avoid using big rocks in the enclosure because this can cause cuts and scrapes that can lead to shell rot.

Mata Mata Turtle Lighting and Temperature | albino mata mata turtle for sale

Water temperatures around 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit are fine. Mata mata turtles are found in tropical environments, so they require higher temperatures. Position a basking light, such as a 75- to 150-watt heat bulb, about one foot above a basking spot. Add an additional UVB-emitting bulb for ultraviolet light. The basking area should be in the mid- to upper 90s.

Mata Mata Turtle Food | baby mata mata turtle for sale

Mata mata turtles are carnivores and prefer live fish. Minnows, platies, mollies, guppies, goldfish and sunfish are a fine selection. I have seen some turtles take night crawlers, as well. It is unusual to have them feed on commercial foods. You can keep the enclosure stocked with fish at all times and allow the mata mata to feed freely.

Be sure to put plenty of feeders fish in the mata mata’s enclosure. It can be difficult for your mata mata to try to catch one or two fish when it is hungry. Try to keep it stocked with 30 or 40 fish at a time. It will eat many at first and then a few here and there throughout the next 4 or 5 days depending on the size of your mata mata. A full size mata mata around can eat feeder (small) goldfish or larger rosies (minnows).

Mata Mata Turtle Handling and Temperament

I would advise against handling imported mata mata turtles until you get this species established and comfortable. This means the turtle is eating, active, and does not show any signs of illness or bad health. Mata mata turtles hatched in captivity can be handled a little more often, but small hatchlings should start eating and show signs of growth before you do much handling.
