A great little book to help us with Taji, our pet sulcata. Nice, color pictures and a broad view of all the topics involved in raising them. It's pretty short, but gave detail in practical areas. It also had some recommended reading at the end that will probably be helpful (haven't explored it much yet). Overall, I'd def recommend this if you're thinking about getting one of these. They are very cool, but quite a bit of work as they get bigger (ours is currently 13 inches and 20 pounds).
