Hi guys Im James, former military, early 30s and new to the site, I had Dino since all my life (my parents got him for my sister before i was born but i can't recall her ever liking him) only not having him with me when i lived in barracks or deployed. Im moving from Texas to Arizona, Dino has always lived outside only coming inside the colder nights of winter in the states we lived before. Now I'm out the Army, we decided to permanently move AZ, my wife found beautiful big house for rent at a great price until we familiarize with the area and decide where we want to buy, the catch is that we got a great deal as long as we stay a year (not a problem pretty common a 12 month lease) and that there is AZ desert tortoise already living in the backyard and the landlord want us to take care of it because according to him AZ has huge trouble housing captive desert tortoise because over population of pets torts (he knew we have Dino and a little Russian named Natasha). My question is, can i have both species living together in the backyard (the yard is huge)? there is a burrow in a corner so that the tort can hide away from the heat and cold as well as hibernating, will i have to make another one for Dino even tho he doesn't hibernate? will he try to bother the hibernating tort during the winter? will there be fighting?
