Not sure about beans, carrots and squash. Please see https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/for-those-who-have-a-young-sulcata.76744/ and https://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/

If YouTube, what video?

I don't think I have any constructive advice as I just noticed the high in MA is lower than the overnight lows here, but I searched Massachusetts and CT and there actually seem to be people raising sulcatas up there. Also, often see posts by @Maggie3fan who is in the Northwest but apparently is...

if you're not already committed to your "future little guy." maybe the 5 month old re-home in previous post also in Las Vegas?

They look as though they would work really well and they seem slim enough to mount high to avoid tort ramming speed. So far I've only found them from UK for 240V. They are mentioned for tortoises on a UK site, Tortoise Protection Group. I currently use an oil-filled heater but now really hoping...

Any update on Bob?

I've never had a baby sulcata but thinking that instead of "trial and error," I'd probably just explicitly follow the care sheet.

@Tom "but lately I started using that corrugated plastic roofing stuff on top, and that seems to work well too." Do you leave on all year or just during the summer? Any particular color? Thanks
