Some of you may have read how I lost my 1st Sulcata by running inside for less than 3 mi, and my dog killed him. Sully was only 1 month old and I only had him 3 weeks, It broke my heart and I still feel guilty.
My husband talked me into an other so I found one 6 months old and named him Sheldon he is now 7 months old. My husband just finished building him a SAFE outdoor enclosure so he can enjoy some fresh sunshine and snacks for a while during the day. Check it out and see what you think. The lid lifts up and the bottom is about 30" off the ground. I have safe plants started and grass seed, will be adding more as needed. He is outside exploring it this morning.

That really looks nice. I especially love the covered cave. Hubby did a great job for you and Sheldon!

Thank you. The covered cave consists of a clay tera cotta bowl shaped pot...I covered it with wet potting soil, placed a cocoa palm liner like you can use in hanging baskets....covered it with more wet potting soil ( organic of course) then covered in grass seed. Can hardly wait until it grows.
