Chipping for a Sulcata would be for your benefit only. It's not a bad idea.
Suggestion... have it done in the front forelimb. It would be less likely to migrate and easier to read... advice from a UK vet now residing in GA. Quote:

That's probably a lower limit with the chips I'm aware of.

just for your own peace of mind jackie in case of theft or escape, it isn't required by law

You do understand I'm saying it is a good idea to have the tortoise chipped even though it is not required for a Sulcata.

A plastron photo will also help with identification.
Ours never burrowed that much and they get very big quite soon. Quote:
