Yes
No


Sulcatas don't hibernate. That means you need to heat the room to at least 75 degrees F.,  with hot spot areas of 90-95 degrees F.
Sulcata can't live in a fish tank; eventually they will require an entire room to themselves. Even warm weather states must provide heated areas, so that the sulcata remains warm at night, significantly increasing your heating bill.

Too much fruit can interfear with the intestinal flora amd should be avoided, but as an occasional and rare treat a strawberry makes a good choice.
