When I purchased Franky, he lived in a 10 gallon aquarium on pellet substrate. My husband built him a tortoise table, keeping in mind that Sulcata's seem to grow at different rates, and we might need to have him inside for a while. His second floor basking area is unfinished. It will have rails on the side and ramps, to keep my baby from falling off. The long end is 7 feet. Short end is 5 feet. Both are 2 feet wide. The hide in the corner has a box imbedded into the floor. Approximately 9 inches deep. Tortoises seem to like to dig in corners, so all of them have slate tile. He has two water dishes and two digging dishes, which will be replaced with vegetation once it grows. All are surrounded with pebbles. Substrate has been changed to 1/3 each of sphagnum moss, plain soil and play sand (vet recommended). The entire thing is raised 3 feet from the floor. Basking is 98F, long end is 87F, short end is 84F and hide is 78F. Night temp is 75F across the entire enclosure. Any suggestions for improvements? Besides web cams, which we, as concerned parents, are looking into right now, lol.
