Hi all, as you know I'm building an outdoor space for my two sulcatas. I'm trying to decide how to split the space. Any advice would be appreciated. The entire space is 20'X12' I was thinking of diagonal or something similar. Their sharing the same hide just divided with their own entrance. We're thinking about a corner hide it depends on the design.

I'm a big fan of symmetry. I'd split it down the middle.

I am too, I'm thinking diagonal that way they would each have more space lengthwise. I'm thinking of the left corner their hides. 20190607_103350.jpeg

That is kind of a small area even for one juvenile. 240 sq. ft. I think you need more space than that, and they are going to outgrow it pretty quickly anyway. I usually keep juvies in something around 30x30.

Well that's all I have to spare right now. I'm trying to do the best I can

I also like symmetry (?) but that is my OCD acting up.

I think I'm going to split it lengthwise to avoid the sharp corners. I'll put their hide in the middle along the left side and then have their opening in the front.
