My sulcata baby is about.. 2 inches. smaller than my palm. I want to put him outside when he gets bigger, I live in AZ so there is hawks, is 6 months ok to put him outside full time? Im eager to put him outside because he is alot more lively and happy outside. He hates his enclosure (even though now its big, the humidity is PERFECT, and so is the temperature. He loves his hour of outdoor time, he hardly eats or drinks inside, only outdoors. I really want him to be in my yard! I just want him to be happier. How big in inches will a sulcata be by 6 months? I had baby chickens that stayed outside free range as tiny, tiny babies (not even all feathers) And nothing seemed to target them, eventually they learned how to jump high, one of them left, and most likely got eaten or ran over. I dont have a fence. I have a cement wall. So no tortoises can go through or dig under that. And I have little to no plants. But I am currently growing a hibiscus bush and grass in the area his out door enclosure should be at. (Its a very, very big space that has alot of weeds and stuff (dandelions, and those other weeds you see) Im making sure my bug guy doesn't ever spray those weeds. (only the ones on the outside of where im going to put a fence.
So what do you think? Is 6 months acceptable for him to be outside full time? And if so, what features should I add? Like a cooled down hide? How should I do that? Because in arizona, it can get up to 120. And around here we get alot of desert tortoises that show up once and a while in our neighborhood because of how close we live to this big patch of desert. Anyways, what do yall think? Please respond.
