    Thinking about sulcata tortoise few questions

    The deck box is about that size but that is just the shelter area. There would be an outdoor area for them to walk around, probably 8x10. As for a dirt area I could easily clear out a small area, but grass hates our yard but I could probably grow weeds or lettuce. Thanks for all of your help!

    Thanks for your advice! Unfortunately the largest area i could provide for one is the deck. Are there any other species that would be suitable. Maybe smaller so I could build a pen for it? I really want a tortoise but not a small one like a russian or a greek. Thanks

We live in Atlanta, Ga and can get down into the 20's in harsh winter. During the summer I plan to modify a...
