i have a Desert Tortoise and he's about 5 years old, I assume. He weighs about 5 pounds. We Adopted him from the State of Arizona. I just adopted a Sulcata and I believe she is about 50 pounds and not sure of her age. My desert tort is hibernating right now in a burrow we constructed for him.
We live in the Arizona desert where it can get pretty cold at night in winter and really hot in the summer. My Sulcata has an insulated house with heat and she won't go in by herself yet, so easy night we place her by the front door and encourage her until she walks in by herself. We are planning to build her a den she can use in the summer to stay cool. Lots of work! Love reading the posts and seeing your tortoise structures.

. Be sure to house them apart. Can wait to see pics of them.
