Most likely it was a Sulcata or African Spurred tortoise. $120 is about right for a pet store. You can get them much cheaper from breeders. I don't recommend buying any animal from a pet store, especially if they don't know what it is!

: I was recently inside a pet shop and saw a tan colored tortoise for sale- they had it labeled as being a Calcutta (?)- I tried to find information on this particular type, but was unable to locate any. I'm thinking perhaps it was a Sulcata, and was mislabeled, but I'm not really sure- if any knows if there is such a tortoise by the name of Calcutta, if you could please let me know it would be much appreciated, as well as if you know of any sites I could check out with information on these- (also, if you do think it is a Sulcata, is a normal selling price for these @ $120.00?) Thanks
