His insulated, heated night box with radiator and heat pad lol. And WiFi temp probe so I can check the temp.

What can I put in my salcutas house please? As in on the floor. I know certain substrate is not good for them. Someone suggested dirt, but it is just way too dusty. What about some chopped hay? Certainly won’t hurt him if he eats it.

My Dozer has gained 5lbs since he came to us in July. Not measured him but he certainly looks bigger. He lives a life of luxury in a huge enclosure with an insulated heated house, with a heat pad. He’s fed once a day and is soaked in a warm bath twice he week. He’s friendly, sociable and...

The radiator has its own thermostat. The thermostat on the outside is only for the heat pad My husbands dad is an electrician so my husband grew up being educated about electrics. It’s all safe 😊

It’s waterproof. It’s been outside for a few months now, on the ground, with no protection. It’s now under the overhang of the roof 😊

We rescued Dozer on July 9th. He was in a bit of a sorry state and quite timid. I weighed him on July 22nd at 10.4lbs. Today he's 13.4lbs. He's very friendly, chases us down for food and loves shell scratches. Hoping someone can tell me if that's a healthy weight gain please?

My husband made this. With a little help from me. ( told him what i wanted lol) 5x4ft, fully insulated, waterproof, thermostat controlled oil radiator and Kane heat mat. The lid is hinged for easy access. I have a door for it too to close him in. It's currently holding the temp well at 82...

This is a 5 x 4' fully insulated, fully waterproof house for my salcuta. Thermostat controlled oil radiator and kane heat pad. My husband built it. Roof is on hinges for easy acccess. Does it need a door that I can close? I plan on putting strips of rubber across the doorway (like walk in...

Thank you. Yes I know I need a panel as it gets colder.

So help a dumb blonde out here. If I set the temp probe up on the farthest wall and set the temp to, say 80. If the temp in the box drops below 80 the mat will turn on. With no rheostat it’ll heat to 37° above 80 or to its cut off point which you said is 108°. Is that not too hot if he’s on...

So you have the temp probe outside and it turns on when the ambient temp is cold enough? As apposed to having the temp probe on actual mat

It’s a temporary box. (He came to us rather quickly, I had to take the poor thing, he was a sorry state). Insulated box will be ready by the time it gets cooler. And yes I fully expect to buy a bigger pad as he grows. I’m terrified about the warnings on the heat pad. Don’t put anything on it...

It’s F not C. I’m in the US. The instructions say 37°f above the ambient temp. I’m looking to see if there is a max in the details.

I’d never heard of the either. No idea what they are. I’ll have to find out.

He’s a Sulcata. 13” carapace. Heat mat is 18 x18. His house is 48x36 Yes I meant radiant heat panel. Sorry.
