Gio my vet has a client who brings their sulcata to him in a wheel barrow!
You'll definately need something if you get the Galapagos ( Lucky you,I'd love a pair but don't have any room left).Any idea when you're getting them?
How awesome to have huge galaps roaming around, it will be like living in Jurastic Park.

It takes two to three guys to lift Big Ben up , it's not really that he's so heavy but they're an awkward shape.
Even with Angel I can only pick her up and move her about 50 feet.
Maybe a fork lift would work! You'll have to ask a Zoo how they move their Galaps around, Honolulu Zoo has a herd of them.
And a herd of over 20 sulcatas.

Here's some photos, this is what I imagine your yard will look like in a few years! Click on the photos to enlarge them, I love the photo with the tort soaking.
Terry.
