I've been reading online for a couple of days, but the closest topic I could find was from Joe's Mum about blue slate and UK weather.
I am hoping one of the experienced members can set me straight here because the info is varied.
I knew that our Sulcata would get big, but I thought we would have a few years before that happened. Due to interior constraints--owning a shoebox in the Central Coast--it looks like I'll have to move our little 4-5" tort outside by the mid Summer. Now, fortunately I have a large backyard--for the area--and plenty of lawn, orchard, etc. space. However, what I don't have is warm weather. 55-65F most days, 75-78 some Summer weeks, 85-90 heat waves and then 50-37 lows depending on the season overnight.
I am committed to razing old structures and building new ones for this tortoise. So, what can I do for the tortoise to help it thrive in this coastal climate on a 24/7 outdoor basis by the time the tortoise is about 5-8lbs later this year?
