When the Sun is full and it is above sixty a big guy can hang outside comfortably, Provided he has a heated shelter to warm up when he wants and at night.

How large a sulcata and how small a yard?

 

[The Slow Sulcata]

Sulcatas grow fast. If you are going to be there for years, you'll need to make sure there is enough room for him once he gets bigger. When they are hatchlings, you need to keep them in an enclosed chamber with heat and humidity.

Im planning to keep him in a tank when hes young, and fix up the basement and make it more warm when hes older,

Give him aces to all 3 floors and outdoors too (when older).

Do you have a three story barn? Adult Sulcatas need care more like livestock than house pets. Have you read the care sheets at the top of this section?

its not a barn, but im sure it'll do for the years ill be here, once I get my own place I can make it better, im sure ill find a way.

That's a very good idea. Buying a sulcata before you have the space to house them is risky.

That is probably best , once you are more situated it will be easier for you !

Also, having tortoises loose in a house is a recipe for disaster. They need their own dedicated tortoise enclosures both indoors and out.
