Today I took in a sulcata from a guy who was "moving" and couldn't take him with. Although I admire sulcatas I never thought to own one because I live in WI so it would live inside for most of the year.... but I was afraid he'd go to someone that just thought it was cool to have a giant tortoise so I agreed to take him. Has anyone raised a sulcata in a cold climate like this? My gut feeling is that I should house him through the winter and then try to find a home for him somewhere warmer in the summer. I have the space and ability to care for him but as cool as he is I feel like it would be selfish to keep him here. He is still on the smaller side, I am guessing around 8" and was being kept in a 40 gallon tank. I have put him into a 5' kiddie pool for now but he is stressed so I haven't actually measured or weighed him as of yet.
Any thoughts on this?
