He seems to have some nice digs though.

 

[Barrysulcata]

He don't go in main garden unless we're there

In the U.S., "digs" means living area. Not sure if that is known in the U.K. or not, sorry.

I do see some walls/fences that an adult Sulcata would steam roll right over.
How big is Barry?

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Also, that shed...When it gets cold, you might want to install something like a big "doggy" door opening on the bottom of that full sized door to keep out more drafts.
Nothing else jumps out at me. Nice room I think.

 

[Barrysulcata]

Barry is approx 18" and 37lb last time I weighed
Yes I'm also awaiting for more plastic strips on main door
Is box is double ply lined if needed I can line the inside with sticky insulation they use in camper van
Still jobs in progress

 

[Barrysulcata]

I was thinking of putting a opening to left off door like a large cat flap with slide down door at night ???

 

[ZEROPILOT]

I have Redfoot only. But they come and go into their night houses through flaps like this: Into heated but uninsulated boxes outside of the pens.

 

[Barrysulcata]

Hi zeropilot
Yes that is my next plan had loads to do since had him now 3 weeks and still loads more to do over next few weeks

This is Dudley's shed door and inside the shed. He comes and goes out into the yard every day, even in winter when it's very cold outside:

 

[Barrysulcata]

Hi looks great don't you loose heat if flap is open all the time
What type of flooring yu using
I aiming for Barry to go out if he won't all year round
How old is Dudley and how big is he and is weight
Thanxs tim

 

[Yvonne G]

Door is open all the time, but the opening is covered with vinyl strips. It just looks open because the camera is pointing through a dark space and into the bright sun.

Dudley is about 25 years old. I got him as a rescue when he weighed 35lbs, and didn't know his age. He now weighs 110lbs. He's about stopped growing.

The floor is cement with rubber horse stall mats over it. I've since moved the pig blanket off the wall and onto the floor. For the coldest winter nights I turn on a 250 watt red brooder light that is hanging from the ceiling at about 5' from the floor. It keeps the temperature inside in the upper 70's even on the coldest 20F degree night.
