I'm trying to figure something out now about Desert Tortoises. I posted a thread that I adopted Fernando and now I would like to know what everyone has done or do with their own Desert Tortoises. I know that Shelly leaves his outside 24/7/365 and would love to know what everyone thinks about this. I bring Fernando in at night partly because that's what Walter told me he did and partly because of some of the older threads and posts that I've read on here in the last week or so. Please tell me what you do with yours and if you think it's a bad thing to bring them in at night. I also have opossums where I live and my dog is in the house at night during the winter so that might make a difference to me. Let the debate begin.
