Hi everybody! Just found your forum and sounds like not too many aldabra owners in Russia. So I'm planning to buy one in near future, but before that I want to be sure that I'm able to provide perfect condition for the torts.
Well the plan is to get everything ready before I get my aldabra. I know it's a big challenge that's why I joined your community so I'm planning to get tort once I settle down in Sochi. Climate there is similar to Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana. I assume that for half a year temperatures should be OK to keep torts outside. That's an easy bit, since I'm going to have half an acre to acre of land there. The question is then to keep tortoises inside winter housing. I couldn't find dimensions for winter housing suitable enough for 1-2 adult aldabras. What are they? Then another challenge how to feed aldabras in winter time? Hope that there are anybody in USA who is living in similar kind of climates and already have a decision for my question
