I have been considering purchasing a tortoise in about a year or whenever I have the appropriate set up done . I have been leaning towards a sulcata but have been reading a lot about Aldabras and had some questions. I was wondering if anyone could answer to see if it would be the right fit. I live on a large ranch in Northern California (near Sacramento) so space is not an issue at all. However it is very dry on average less than 10% humidity. We do have summers we're we have days over 110 and the occasional freezing night in the winters however most of the year is is sunny and hotter than 75. I am not worried about being able to provide a humid set up in doors however when it gets to large to be inside I'm not sure if people in dryer climates have success in raising this species. Is the care similar to what is given for sulcata torts on this forum? Are these tortoises okay to live in pairs or groups or are they similar to sulcatas were they would bully and one would suffer?
