use a lot of humidity such as two mists a day and a soak every day or two, this seems to be the best way to prevent pyramiding which I can see that this little girl already has
go to tortoiseforum.org
sullys make great personable pets when properly cared for so good luck
 
in addition to what latshki already mentioned, i would recommend a lot more substrate as sulcatas love to dig. also make sure your tortoise has access to uva/uvb lighting
 
make sure that it gets a very wide diet of all sorts of fruits and veggies. this will help to prevent pyramiding and will keep your turtle nice and healthy.
 
Just curious...what are you planning re: housing when she's grown? I've always wanted one but their strength and space requirements always scared me off.
 
got this girl for less than 100 so im thinking good deal. i have a spare room when she gets big just gonna let her roam theres a lot of diggin she can do now add alot of stuff to her pin. I put her outside every morning along with my other turtles i have. im going to be posting pics of my collection fish and all in the next couple of days. as far as uv goes since shes outside all day is that enough for now or should i get uv bulbs giving her a bath tonight
