The "next national problem" is a bit too dramatic. I'm aware of several large breeders in AZ who allow them to burrow all through the winter using just additional hay. I'm sure the same could be said for breeders in FL.
We've digressed a bit, Tyler. What are your thoughts on tens of thousands of Sulcatas bred each year?
