: What part of Florida are you in? What do you do with the non-hibernating torts when those unusual freezes come down, you know , the ones that freeze all the orange crops? How cool does it get for you in the winter? Just curious.

i'm in tampa (central florida). we do get some pretty cool temps now and again (down in the 30's)
my sulcatas stay out year round because they have a huge den they've dug (i'd say close to 20ft long and 5ft deep) the redfoots leopards and boxes all come inside for winter unless the daytime temps get above 70. my new russians will be going in a refrigerator (wish me luck)
