Hi I am new to the forum and I just had a few questions regarding a soon to be purchase of a juvenile/sub adult sulcata that could make or break me buying this specific species.
First off, does anyone on this site own a sulcata in a place with 4 drastically different seasons such as somewhere in the mid-atlantic? It seems that everyone that owns one of these beasts lives in Florida or California.
Second, would I need to establish an indoor enclosure during the winter months were is can get 0 degrees sometimes or colder. If not is it even safe to have a tortoise live in a tortoise house in these temperatures, heating or not?
Third and finally, am I completely crazy for thinking I can own a desert tortoise where I live?
Thanks in advance everyone!
