Here’s famous “turtle” the Hawaiian Sulcata tortoise eating a banana seed pod. He is about 8 years old and 63 lbs. He will get probably over 100 lbs. and over 100 years old possibly. You can buy these Sulcata tortoises in Hawaii pet stores for about $100. A lot of people buy them and raise them in a dry fish tank with a light to make sure the shell doesn’t “pyramid.” Little do some of them realize that these pets grow big–and fast. They need a big protected yard with plenty of grass and weeds to thrive.
