Hi...sulcata questions

Toddp Jul 09, 2008 11:24 PM

I recently adopted a baby sulcata and am stocking up on info, so please bear with me.

I live in Corpus Christi, TX and from what I've read on here and other places the weather is ok for sulcata's to live outside once my tort hits about a year or so. My back yard is covered in Johnson grass, do I need to kill this off before I put him back
there or is Johnson grass an acceptable food source? I have st. augustine ( buffalo grass) in the front, would this be better?

Once I get an answer, I'll ask some more ?'s. Thanks
Todd

I don't think this will be a problem. I feed mine an assortment of grass and weeds that grow in the yard, so you should be ok.

ok,I just want to make sure, because my backyard is overrun with the stuff.
Thanks
