Here are some pics of Alex, taken last Friday, It was a nice day so she was outside for awhile. Alex is nine months old, 5 3/4 inch, 499 grams,and is being raised with a (almost) constant temp of 82 -85 F, humidity is at 70-75, no hot lamps, or che, are used, the heat sources are a buried hot rock, with a clay pot hide above it, 2 small home made heat cables under the enclosure, and a couple 8 watt golden rod dryers hanging at 7 inches above the substrate, a uvb tube above. This is the first time I have tried this type of setup and it is working out very well. She will be back outside soon (i hope) to get more natural sun light and graze at will.

Very nice looking sulcata. Interesting approach. I like that you haven't used any "hot spots".
