Hi All!
I have a four foot sulcata tortoise that lives in my backyard in Southern California. The weather is warm for the most part, but sometimes I worry for him on colder days/nights (sometimes it gets less than 10 degress celsius). Am I being paranoid? Most posts I've seen say that you shouldn't really need a night box for tortoises in SoCal. The weather's been cold enough recently that he only really comes out of his hutch to walk around every other day or so.
If I do need a night box, how wouldI go about getting/building one?
Thanks!
