It's finally finished! They love it! I have a section blocked off under the light because I'm growing a "garden" of seed mix that I ordered from sulcatafood.com and it needs to grow a little before they start trampling all over it, haha.Â
Right under the lamps the temps get up to 100 degrees, cooling off a little every time I open the lid. The cool side has been consistently right around 85 degrees and humidity is 85+.
It's been one full day since I put them in it, and I already see a huge improvement in appetite and activity. After their soak today, when I was putting them back, I noticed Koopa's tail started wagging (just like a dog!) as soon as I put him down. I think that's enough proof I need to know they love their new home.
Within the next week we will be making a second enclosure and Torty will be going to love with my step daughter and her mom. I will be sending Torty with all the info I learned from this site, to ensure he/she stays a happy healthy tortoise!

Warm spot
Cool side + humidity
Now a few questions...
1. Should the temps drop at night? Mine seemed to get warmer..
And I seem to have forgotten the rest of my questions haha. Will ask when I remember!
