Hello everyone! I've started my search for my young Sulcatas first shed and wanted some tips from those more experienced than I.
I am looking for something 10×10 or 8×12. I was looking to buy a shed and then modify it for my needs such as adding insulation and heat.
What is the best way to go about this and is there a particular model or any features recommended?
Would a metal shed work if I add insulation on the inside or would it still be too cold?
What should the shed contain as far as furniture or decoration?
Can it have windows or will it loose too much heat in the winter?
Any tips or tricks from those also keeping large tropical tortoises in a colder climate? I am in Maryland between Baltimore and Washington.
How should i build her outdoor pen so it is escape proof? I worry about her digging out, shes quite the little excavator.
I plan to heat using a radiant oil heater and a pig blanket, she'll live in here once she outgrows her current enclosure until she is big enough to roam the yard, and then inside a large heated garage in the winter once she outgrows the shed.
