Yearling tortoises for sale are also often available as well. When deciding what size tortoise to buy it is really important to consider the adult size when they are fully mature, not how big they are when they hatch out of their egg!

Large baby tortoise
The largest family of baby tortoises for sale includes the biggest! Starting at the top, the single largest pet tortoise for sale would be either the Galapagos or the Aldabra. Aldabra tortoise for sale are quite expensive and females can hit 200 pounds where as the boys can reach almost 500 pounds! Owning an Aldabra is almost more like owning a dog over a pet tortoise or pet turtle. Giant Aldabra tortoises come to us from the Seychelles Islands are absolutely amazing in every capacity.
Galapagos are basically the same size, cannot handle as great of a temperature variant or gradient and therefore we prefer the Aldabra over the Galapagos. African Sulcata tortoises are also listed as large tortoises even though they only reach less than half the size of the Aldabra. Sulcata tortoise start out around 2″ and can reach 24″ by adult hood. Sudanese Sulcata get even larger reaching 28″ and almost 200 pounds.
