They do fine in a tortoise shed outside as long as the temp is controlled.

That's a lot of work

You could also overwinter them in your basement. Any place the ground temp is above 70F and they can have a basking lamp is fine. The hard part is keeping them penned up when it's frozen out, because they do not hibernate. I would say they're not the ideal pet in Canada, all things considered.They'd be just fine in an indoor terrarium style setup for 5 years or so when they're small, but once they're 25-30 cm long they need to be outside because they grow FAST and will get huge.

Can I eat it if it turns mean?

There'd be plenty to go around, that's for sure. They're not all that aggressive or mean though. Even the bucks are more just buttheads than mean.

My aunt has a 16 year old Sulcata. She lives in northern IL. Scooter gets half of the basement to himself in the cooler months. He gets the whole fenced yard during the warmer months.
