So yesterday when I got home from work he had clearly moved himself, we have had a run of pretty warm days. Tonight I brought him out and took him outside for a few minutes of daylight. He immediately started walking around but was more interested in being on my concrete than in the grass. We...
That was my gut feeling but just going off research not experience. And that daytime temp should be low 60s. They said he moved so they brought him out. He hasn't moved from the corner of the box he put himself in around 12hours ago.
I got an email this morning that said he was awake, to come pick him up. I did pick him up and the guy is only sort of awake. I picked him up in a Rubbermaid tub with some grass hay for bedding. He promptly moved himself under the hay. He is a CDT and our temps are still fairly low. Should I...
Relatively new here, been reading posts for about a year as part of my research. I have been researching for about 2 years on & off to make sure this is a commitment I want to make. Last year I decided based on several sources of info and my own needs/wants/location that I would like an arid...
What part of California? I am in the Central Valley (Modesto). I had been looking at a CDT but my fence is being redone right now so it will be nice and sturdy. I may consider a Sulcata if it was fairly local.

I am very animal friendly and rescue minded, everyone here has been rescued or adopted I do not breed nor do I buy from breeders.
Outdoor companions are my chickens. Indoor I have cats, dogs, and the birds (parrots and doves). I am well aware of the danger posed by housing predator/prey type...
I have read about their very non-social nature. I have no other torts. If I ever a adopted another (same or different species) they would have a separate enclosure, I have the room to do it. No pool either.
I am in Modesto, my birds' vet is in Oakley (Medical Center for Birds). I have a roughly 4'x8' solid walled outdoor enclosure with 12" sides and about 6" of substrate on a wired bottom then I have a fence/lid to place over the top. I do not use pesticides in my yard or garden ever. I grow...
