Can I keep a sulcata outside in north Georgia

[Tortoise_Nerd]

My property has a field in which I can put up a fence to stand up to a sulcata trying to climb over, trying to plow through, and digging underneath. I would like to know if the sulcata would be okay in the climate.

I am in north east Pa. and my sully goes out every day. Sometimes I have to dig a little trail in the snow for her to get through it...she loves it...

Yes it can be done i have kept sulcatas in Md and Va for many years. And mine ventures out in the snow also.

Just be sure to provide shade, as I know you have high temps and humidity, good for a sully but they still need to be able to cool down some. Also in the winter provide a heat shed, or night box for those colder days. This is for an adult correct? Anything around 8-10 inches or so and under should not stay out 24/7

I'm sure your climate is not too different than my. You can definitely keep a sulcata in your area, but it's going to be more "involved" than people in nicer climates. Our summers are pretty hot and our winters are pretty cool. You could provide a buried hide for summer and a heated box for winter. Keep an eye on the temps, and remember sulcatas don't hibernate and they get huge.

Hi. I have a 12 yr old male Sulcata in Northern Virginia that I have had since he was a hatchling. I am looking to re-home him as I am getting divorced and cannot afford a place with any yard, let alone a yard large enough for his needs. Let me know if you are interested.
