Hi all. My name is Shianne. I am a first time Sulcata owner and I’m super excited about starting this journey with my new little one. He hatched on 4/6/18 and we’ve decided to call him Chomper. Thanks for having me :)

Hello and Welcome. Read our care sheets and closed chamber thread and get everything adjusted accordingly. Closed chamber with high humidity and no temp lower then 80.

Please be sure that your substrate is damp, and that your humidity is 80% or higher :)
