Hi Tammy:

to the forum!!!

You can always install an overhead drip system using the sprinkler-type drip emitters. That's what I've installed in my Manouria pen. I usually run it every day during the summer, but you wouldn't need to run it that much for a sulcata. Lots of shrubs and plants help to keep it humid at ground level too.

i agree with yvonne- plants, plants, and plants! i don't live in california, but enough water to keep plants alive should provide enough humidity for elvis if he's already 6. but that's just my opinion, i don't know what southern california weather is like-- besides hot! welcome to the forum!
