My 2 year old Sulcatas Fat Man and Little Boy have been in their outside enclosure for 3 months. I have had them since they were 1 month old. It is 15’ x 15’ with a 5’ x 5’ hide box. I have a 24 inch x 2 inch deep soaking tub recessed so the top is flush with the ground, and gets fresh water daily.
I have never observed them self soaking or drinking, even when I place them next to it. . At least every other day I place them in the tub to soak. When I do they drink water as if they are dying of thirst, drinking a lot of water. They have plenty of shade but I spray them down with a hose everyday which they enjoy. When I spray them they always drink the water from the ground once the water starts running in a stream. They have Timothy pellets full time, plenty of green grass to graze on, Hibiscus flowers and leaves almost everyday, spring mix less the spinach about once a week and cuttlebone full time, never fruit. It’s like they are scared of the tub!!??
