Yep just dirt from my yard!

Hey sorry had a crazy week! Here is the inside:

Hey there. I live in North Texas and I’ve recently made an outdoor area for my Sulcata. Check this link out and let me know if you have questions. https://tortoiseforum.org/index.php?threads/It-is-built%21%21%21-Thanks-Tom%21.169220/

Since it’s basically just a heated burrow for the winter I don’t have anything for UVB or basking. She is able to go outside whenever she wants. It only gets really cold here for a few weeks. In that time I may bring her in to bask but for the most part I will let her just bask in the natural...

I thought about doing this as well if nothing else just to give the illusion of day/night in the really cold days where she won’t want to venture out. You do find a temp change with a normal bulb? I guess I could see that as well. Where do you put your thermometer? I hung mine from the ceiling...

That’s exactly what I am going to do. I thought it was a lamp lol

Thanks gang!! I’m going to use a pad and a lamp on the roof :)
