Winter housing for your sulcatas...

[SULCATACRAZY]

I'm curious to know how you house your sulcatas over the winter, and where you are located?

I'm in so cal, so my guy has a shed with heating he goes in each night in the winter months. I don't have lighting in it, as even in the winter days, he come out to lay in the sun & eat (not that many cloudy days in so cal LOL)

I am in NJ and I am lucky to have a huge basement. Right now they are still on the smaller side so are in a room specifically for my torts. But as they grow I plan on moving them to a larger part of the basement. And eventually, my husband and I would like to move west.

I'm close to Albuquerque, NM where we get into the teens during the winter. I have a large tort shed and use multiple Active UV heat lamps as well as Zoomed Reptisun 10.0 tubes. This past week have started to keep the lights off during the day to get the Sulcata's outside in the sun. Yeah spring is here!
