Sulcata Tortoise Health and Breeding

Posted by Alex Orleans on August 02, 2000 at 20:32:08:

Hi there! Have 2 questions. 1) How large or old does a female Sulcata have to be before she can breed? 2) If a Sulcata has developed pyramiding of it's shell, is this process reversible or at least can it be arrested with a dietary change. From my understanding, this condition comes from too much protein in the diet. Are there long term negative consequences for the animal with this condition? Thanks!
