I believe that "closed chambers" make the best habitats for baby sulcata. They allow you to control the most important aspects of the environment in an efficient manner. Here is a thread with several examples of what members have built. http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread-32333.html

No on the heat rock-cooks them from the inside out. Use a plan old flat rock under your basking Heres mine for my little sulcata. I couldn't be happier with it. I planted an African grazer mix in it with an aloe plant & also just added spider plants. I used organic top soil (make sure it has no additives like fertilizers!) as the base & coco core for the top layer.

That is a high quality closed chamber. Beautiful! In the coming years you are going to be rewarded many times over for your efforts.

Thanks! Enclosed really is the way to go. So much easier to maintain correct heat and humidity.
