I need to find out where I can get this question answered. Can Geochelone sulcata(African Spurred Tortoise) be housed with Gopherus agassizii (American Desert Tortoise) I have 2 Desert Tortoises in an enclourse in my yrad right now. One Mojave and one sonoran. I really would like to get more, but they are endangered and are illegal to sell(i recieved mine from a breeder) So I turned to the africans. What im wondering is...would it be okay to house them together. and would the african survive in 120*F + to 50*F weather here in AZ. and do they hibernate?
Thanx
 
they don't hibernate, but will slow down and cease activity when too hot.estivate/brumate, if that's spelt correctly
