    Burrow temps

    I am planning on putting a night box and a burrow in the enclosure but not a full underground burrow. I bought a really big clay pot and I'm going to half sink it I just don't know what the temperature should be in there? I want to be sure it gets cool enough for him . I think I'm pretty clear...

    Burrow temps

    Building an outdoor enclosure for my sulcata and wondering what the average temps should be in a burrow? I'm in florida so it's hot and humid. He will have lots of shade but want to be sure he has a place so he won't overheat.

    Outdoor enclosure

    Okay but I only need heat for cold nights correct? Cold nights are pretty much completely done here now but I agree I will definitely be prepared I just wanted to make sure that during the Spring and the summer he doesn't need any sort of additional heat or humidity that our weather would be enough?

    Outdoor enclosure

    So Mr. Frog is big enough for an outdoor enclosure now so the building plans begin and here come all the questions! We live in Florida and have worked out all the details for keeping him safe at night from the raccoons and I know he still needs a hide but does it still need to be heated? It is...
