Time to build squirt another larger enclosure. He is growing like the weeds he eats. We're going to build a 10' 6"x4' closed chamber pic's to come soon I've already started the build.[TURTLE][TURTLE][TURTLE]
Wow! This is a great indoor habitat! I just love all the space.
I have noticed that indoor and outdoor tortoise habitats are hard to stop upgrading, changing, making larger...
It's a never ending process!
Picked up two 250 watt CHE I hope it will heart things up for me. So hears the plan 110 basking with a 150 watt MVB and 80degrees every where else and I his dark room 75 degrees. Just wanted to see what you think.
I'd shoot more for 95-100 for the basking spot and I think a 160 watt is going to over heat your enclosure. Two 65 watt bulbs heat my 4x8x2' enclosure up to an ambient of 93 on a 70 degree day.
I also think the 250 watt CHEs might be a bit too much, but since they are on a thermostat, it should be fine, but man that is a lot of power to be burning.
Keep the updates coming. This is an awesome example of how to build a great enclosure.

One 8 ft lid just about done. One more 2.5 ft lid to go!

I've really enjoyed building this enclosure I've put a lot of thought into this build. I'm not sure how long the enclosure will last seeing how big sulcata's can get so only time will tell but for now I have provided 43 sq ft of a enclosed enclosure for squirt! I'm leaning towards cypress substrate by zoo med with a mix of coco husk.
