    Sulcata temperatures; what can they tolerate?

    Why is an adult not an option? even a juvenile? what do you plan on doing with yours in two years? They shouldn't live indoors all the time.. How hot is your house at night? if you have humidity and it gets too cold, you get a sick tortoise. Read Toms Sulcata care sheets.
