Hello, perhaps this has been answered before. Do you stain or seal the interior of your homes? Or just leave the bare plywood? We will be priming and painting the exterior of our newly built home shortly but I wanted to see what you typically do for the walls or floor inside, if anything...

Hello, Interested in ways other folks have irrigated their grass for their outdoor enclosures in dry, desert climates. The space is currently 100% dirt, it will be 20' x 6' enclosed and will be expanded out as needed in the future. However I live in the desert with peaks of 112-115 degrees...

This is Tiny, our Sulcata. He lives inside still but this is our current, temporary outdoor space. Recently Tiny has decided he likes to try to escape and flips over. I check on him frequently so it’s never for too long but we took away his plastic “house” because it was apart of his act. So...

Does this look like a safe weed to feed to a Sulcata? My phone was confused and called it spiderling and stinking goosefoot (which I don’t think is right). I’m in southern AZ if that helps ID.

How long does your orchid bark stay humid under your heat lamps? I was going to post my own thread but I’m snooping through some others first. I was using forest floor and with my greenhouse cover I was getting about 6-7 days of 80% or higher humidity and then refreshing with 3-4 big cups of...

Checking back in and adding some new photos of Tiny! Our forest floor bedding sprouted mushrooms even with my daily spot cleaning so we did a full clean out today and switched over to reptibark this time! Smells amazing… now will it stay that way?? 🤪

I’ve only been into our local one once. Maybe I’ll swing by there too and see what’s available 😆

Thanks Tom! I heard the ban went nationwide a few months ago so that makes sense. The insanity has spread… Of course we found our little baby in September! No wonder it’s been difficult since. Thanks to everyone’s replies and searching for traffic light bulbs instead, I found a website...

Thank you! That’s good to know. I checked Home Depot before, it’s all LED now other than appliance bulbs. Do those work too? 😅

Thank you!! Do you use them with a timer still?

Hi everyone, Does anyone have any links to the incandescent bulbs you’re purchasing? I have a baby Sulcata, Tiny, and I purchased a two pack from Amazon. One lasted 3 months. The second one lasted 4 days!!!! I’m temporarily using a MVB again but I know that’s not good for him. Can I get a...

Hello, Tiny’s mom here to ask about a relative’s older Sulcata, Rex. He is 23-25 years old, not exactly sure but they’ve owned him since he was a baby. He lives outside full time in southern AZ with a heated box for winter. I’m not sure exactly what heat they’re using inside the box but they...

I know!! He’s a hungry monster for sure. I have a separate pot to cut off of and he’s only going outside a few times per week since he’s small so I’ll add more seed in there too. Do you know when he can start trying hay? I know he’s too small still but my parents have a 25yo boy Rex so he just...

Our grass and clover mix sprouted! I wasn’t sure what Tiny would think of fresh grass since this was his first encounter. It would appear it’s a thumbs up! 🤩

@AmandaF @zolasmum Thank you so much!!!! We love Tiny ❤️ and we are so glad he picked our house!
