I have a 15 month old sulcata he grew up in an aquarium for the first year, but had daily sun baths. I live in a large top floor confo with four secured outdoor decks, one of which I just coverted to his new habitat. 
That's his first home that was taken 12-12-12
Those five guys are part of his extended family
Sheldon's new home. Taken 11-12-13 its still a work in progress. I can explain the various substrates and lamps if anyone has questions. What you can't see in the back corner is one of his two hide houses, one has a 24 hour humidifier feeding directly into the box, sits on living moss. The other is a dry or arid hot box on desert cactus organic soil.
All together it measures 8 x 8 feet. The pathways in the back are on a gradual slope upwards and the rear corner is perched high up, Sheldon can look down from there and see his habitat view. The obstacles are mimicking natural obstacles in the wild which include, objects that provide shade, areas of loose substrate to promote burrowing, wet and dry substrates, edible plants and cacti, grass, moss, dense soil, several hide boxes and that white pipe in the back is a slide and yes he seriously enjoys sliding down it and climbing back up.
His old den now grows edible grass, dandelions and cacti.
Work in progress, would love to hear any ideas, thoughts, changes or if you have any questions, please post. Thank you, Sam
