cool. I was a tad proud of mine and a tad nervous for them for coming out to graze in 45 degree weather the other day; glad to see other people with sulcata's who aren't afraid of the cold weather.
When I took the pics the air temperature was 28 F, he ate some, followed me around for a while, then went back in to warm up,came back out this afternoon and is grazing right now, it's 46 Fkatherine said:

It's amazing how well they hold heat and impressive that (in my experience anyways) they have the sense to get back in a warm spot before they get dangerously cold. When I see mine out in cold weather I usually use the temp gun on them but they're always back in their house before they reach a temp that would make me uncomfortable. I think it's pretty awesome they are smart enough to maintain their body temp like that. Pretty neat to see a sulcata in the snow! I am glad you took a picture : )

My Sulcata has a doggie door that I open every morning. He goes outside no matter how cold it is and right now the high for the day is 40 degrees.
But I am wondering what is that red on your torts face?

The red is from cactus fruit, there was a little left over from the day before, it had to be frozen, but he ate it anyway. I was wondering if any one would notice his red lips.maggie3fan said:
