Hello All!
My mother has lived in Miami, FL for almost 40 years & has always kept tortoises. Three years ago I stumbled across a poorly kept yearling Aldabra & offered to take it off the owners hands. It was probably the best gift I could have ever gotten my mother; we named him Mortimer. After many years of Miami living & raising four boys she has decided to sell her property & move back home to Daufuskie Island off of South Carolina. Average annual temperature is 65ºF and annual precipitation is 49.4 inches. Temperatures in August can run into the 90's and lows in winter may reach 20 degrees. When a winter front passes through, the temperatures usually bounce back to the high 60's or low 70's within a couple of days. She has asked me to try & find information on keeping an adult Aldabra in colder climate. She is willing to go to about any lengths for Mortimer so we were wondering what would make up an ideal habitat for our friend when she moves back to SC? Your advice would be greatly appreciated!
