Hi all,my sulcata terry whom i have had since a 100g baby ,and now weighs 5 and a half kllo before his third birthday has now moved out into his new home , a ten by eight converted shed ,fully insulated ,everywhere including floor with a 4x4 old dog kennel also fully insulated for his night box with a che lamp inside this on a thermostat to keep it cosy at around 80degrees ,two uva uvb bulbs for basking around 100degrees all in all a lot of hard work , thanks to all on tips to keep temps right ,the fan on the ceiling was a winner keeping the floor temps up.And how did my tortoise repay all this hard work he sulked in the corner for two days ,but all is ok now,being in the uk and its currently minus four at night ,i may be getting a nasty suprise from the the electric people when my next bill arrive .

hello maro ,will have to work out how to upload pics , i have a fenced in garden /but i think its way to cold at the moment to let him roam but i get him out for an hour or two in the summer,when it warms up in the spring time hopefully ,but you never know here in the uk .

Sounds like a great place for him. I worry a bit about the CHE inside his night box though. Be sure it's not too close to the top of his carapace.
