10 Reasons A Sulcata is Better Than A Cat or Dog

A sulcata can rearrange patio furniture and most anything else in the backyard.

If you have a big yard with lots of weed and grass, sulcata are cheaper to feed than dogs.

Sulcata poop can be flung like a missile, unlike dog or cat poop.

A sulcata won't keep the neighbors up all night barking.

Your friends and family aren't allergic to your sulcata.

Keeping a sulcata encourages you to have more fiber and vegetables in your diet.

When you grow your own "weed" for a sulcata, it's not illegal.

Every ten to fifteen years you are not burying a beloved pet - sulcata will live as long as you live!

    You're right! We started eating a LOT more green stuff & cut out those 'healthy cereals'.

    PLUS - that poop is great fertilizer, unlike dog or cat poop.
    It's possible to love a tort like no other animal you've ever had - at least it was like that for me!
