Situation.... built a beautiful outdoor enclosure for my sulcata to get him permanently outdoors. Haven't been able to keep him in it through the night because temps are still not quite warm enough yet until sun up. I want to be able to leave him in there all the time and not have to bring him...
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...
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.
@Tom, I have a few more questions die you about the outdoor enclosure were making for Mr. Frog. If it's not on this topic should I just write it here anyways or is there another way I can contact you for some quick advice?
Okay thanks for the advice guys I guess I'll just try to go for a larger terracotta saucer right now because he's not that big and maybe as they get larger they get a tad deeper.
We are building an outdoor enclosure to move our sulley out there and we have always used the base to a clay pot for his water dishes. They are still big enough for him but I feel they need to be a little deeper. By the time he gets in and sloshes the water out I'm filling it multiple times a...

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?
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...
Yes, I love that he will be a life long pet! I'm so happy you think he looks good. I was always so worried of doing something wrong and messing up his shell.
Hi all! We joined this group 4 years ago to do lots of research before purchasing our 1st tort. We got busy with life and have been MIA but Mr Frog will be 4 years old on the 28th and we wanted to stop in and say hello and share his pictures. We have done the best we can to take proper care of...
Hey Tom! I finally figured out how to get back on the forum but not sure if this is the spot you wanted me to message you. Just trying to get some outdoor enclosure ideas with cover so the birds dont take my little guy. Thanks again!
