That’s what I did - a smaller door now with an option to cut it larger later.

It does work with Alexa, I found this: https://support.acurite.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022866813-Amazon Which one do you use for your sulcatas? I am thinking about which one to go with. Thanks again for the suggestion!

Tom, I was hoping to get your response in this thread! Are you using something to monitor conditions when you're away? This is the one I believe I will be going with, the only hesitation was that according to their Q&A on Amazon I didn't get a clear understanding if it works with Alexa...

Do you measure that with laser thermometer/gun?

I am looking for the suggestions on the wi-fi thermometer-hygrometer. I built a ‘smart’ outside night/day enclosure where devices operated by Alexa, however, I am having issues with wi-if thermometer I got (works Tuya/Smart Home). It has 5 degrees Celsius difference with non-Wi-Fi...

Thank you! Would the layer of dry bark work?

I have created an outside space for my Sulcata with a night-box, similar to the one Tom described in one of his threads - but I am not sure, should I put any substrate in it? Is it fine, considering all electric/heat elements or should it be empty?

@Tom Do you put any substrate in the night-box itself?

It’s a roof of another building that my building is built on. The patio/backyard has roughly size of a small apartment and it’s fenced and roofed. That’s right, few hours in the morning, I can place necessary lights to supplement more, that was part of the advice I am looking for. I am on the...

What would be the good size for that? I can make it larger than a crib too, I have enough space.

I have a patio on in my apartment with roof an fence where I want to built custom enclosure for my Sulcata. The Sulcata is now roughly 860 grams weight and about 20cm in length. The patio has direct sun light for about 2 hours a day after that it’s still very bright, but not a direct light...

My sulcata is in the 40 gal tank now, and I feel it's getting small for her (or him, I have no idea). I was wondering is there any tortoise size vs enclosure size sheet? I would also appreciate any images of enclosures (not for babies) for both inside and outside if anyone can share.

https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/zoo-med-reptisun-100-uvb-t5-ho-lamp I guess this is the one I am looking for? Question - this is just the bulb, but how to power it? They sell ‘hoods’ but I guess I am not looking for the hood as I would need to install it inside, below the...
