Hey I just got a brand new sulcata and I'm wondering if I can get any grass and weeds from back yard to feed?? Are there common weeds that are poisonous to them?? I'm from Kentucky/Tennessee in the fort campbell area

I prefer a ceramic heating element set on a thermostat to control my ambient temperature day and night. Its all in those links above.

Hello,and Welcome. No heating mat, get a CHE, ceramic heat emitter for night time and for day time added heat. Also please read Toms threads below in my post for proper housing.

A whistling noise could be a sign of an RI. These are usually cause by temps being too cool, especially at night.
