Can you house this animal for the entire duration of its life, and make sufficient provisions in your will for it? If not, then no, it's not a good pet. IMHO, the overproduction of Sulcattas in the herp trade is incredibly irresponsible, though regrettably not surprising. These are HUGE tortoises that require an immense amount of room over a lifespan that, if kept will, will surpass your own by two-fold or more.
