For some that might not have seen my intro. I am new the Sulcata family and so far its been a lot of fun work. We adopted our new family member from a family that had just outgrown her. I will be referring to her as she because we have not come up with a good name for her yet.
She came from a good family but I think they never really researched on how to properly take care of her. She has spent all 9 years of her life in aquariums and we received her with a 20 gallon home. She had never been introduced to any substrate besides her fake grass carpet she has lived on. No humidity control, no proper temp, and no proper UV. Honestly I think she is undersized and weight for her age. She is roughly 8 inches and weighs under 5 lbs.
Well today was her big day she got to move into her new home finally. She is now in a 3 1/2' X 6 1/2' x 2 foot enclosure. Substrate is a mix of coir and cypress mulch. Today's test run was temperatures of 78 to 80 degrees and humidity hit 90 percent. Basking area was at 105. She got a lot of exercise today exploring and had a good poop. I have included some pics.
