Well, I have wanted a sulcata for a long time, let me ask a few questions, open to everyone and anyone to answer.

1. I have a "typical" suburban house (at least here in texas). A 6 foot wood fence flush with the ground. About 3000 sqft of backyard with st. augustine grass as well as some bermuda and zorsia (sp?). A dog door goes into the garage. We have only 1-2 days a year of freezing weather. What do you think about keeping a larger female outside? Will they dig under this fence if they are given almost 3000sqft? I have seen pics of ENORMOUS burrows dug by them. Should I worry they are going to dig under the house?

2. I assume they can live without dying of fright from dogs (as long as the dogs are not attacking them)?

3. I'm ready to supplement the diet...will they freely eat these grasses? (heck, maybe I can get rid of my lawn mower).

I would be very interested to hear from anyone who lives under "similar" conditions and keeps their sulcata basically as an outdoor pet.

-thanks, mike
