what can they tolerate?

Ask all you want, friend Just read Tom's post in the sulcata section which is in the African tortoise section (they are the first posts you see at the top of the page)!

Hi Mr. @AbdullaAli, I see you live in Abu Dhabi. So do I. And I also have a Sulcata which I bought from a pet store in Al Ain, not knowing that it was a sulcata at that time. So, I have been reading up as much as possible about them. May I ask you about how you take care of your sulcata(s) here in Abu Dhabi? I currently live in an apartment with a balcony, so my 3+ month baby gets some sun on the balcony when it isn't too cool. At night, it stays in a heated room, but I just can't get the room heater to heat the room up to 80F, usually to about 75F. Do you know where I can buy ceramic heat emitters? Shukran in advance!

Your tortoise is a Greek tortoise. As long as you provide shade and hiding places, the temperature is ok.

Thank you again, Yvonne!

Hi again, AbdullaAli - looks like I do NOT have a sulcata, but rather, a Greek tortoise!
