And yes he loves his burrow in the summer. It gets hot here! But I make sure he has fresh cool water and he loves the hose. We bask a lot together. That is my new project :) Thank you Tom.

Thank you for that Charlie. A lot of things I read make me feel like I've been a bad dinosaur mom :( I thought I was doing great. I am making improvements now and it's been a trial and error experience. I am glad for this forum :) The last few years there have been more changes because he's...

Thank you for all your help and information. I appreciate it. I did always make sure he got good soaks but I am sad to think I didn't give him proper humidity growing up. Someone did not want to take care of the tortoise anymore and I jumped at the situation. I am glad I did but I wish I had...

I see the tubs for humidity. Thank you. I have a lot of work ahead of me but grateful for the post and pictures :)

This is great!

We live in Las Vegas. He is free to roam the yard as he pleases. He has a trash can with a heating pad. And one without. But I will look in to building him a real home :). I just thought it was easier to clean out a plastic barrel than a wood shed. He of course poops everywhere lol.

Thank you Tom. We live in Las Vegas. It's very dry here but when it does rain I freak out and close his hole. He prefers to be in his burrow. But it's too cold at night in the winter. I am going to build him a home like yours. Also I've been reading on some of these forums that they need...

My Sulcata has a 3 foot, at least 8 feet long burrow in a very good spot in the yard. But in the winter it gets cold so I cover his hole. I have him in a large round garbage can with an Osborne heating pad. He likes it in there. But since I have joined the forum I have seen all kinds of shed...

Wow his nighttime home is awesome. Great job!

Well he is too big for a 26 inch water heater pan. Good thing I bought the 30 inch aluminum one. Is aluminum ok? As long as it's covered from the sun.

I have to keep my dogs in the front yard and my tortoise in the backyard. If I just let them eat each other's poo, I would never be on poo doodie duty. Hahahahaha

My guy is too wide for that I picked up two different kinds of water heater overflow pans today :)

The balloons are an awesome idea! I need a bigger yard

This would work for my guy. Where did you get one?

Thank you Yvonne. I'm still finding my way around ;). I love this place!

By the way Big Charlie is a beautiful BIG boy

Yes. I am going to go look tomorrow at the water heater pan :) I have dug a mud hole for him before but was neevous of him drinking the muddy water lol. Which I know he would if he was out in nature. The water just soaks right into the ground, but lining it sounds good. I'm going to give him...

I have an adult male African sulcata that has outgrown every watering/soaking dish I've gotten him. I have used kiddie pools but he breaks them and cut himself on one last year that led to doctor visits and antibiotics. We are currently using the largest planter pot saucer, and a large garbage...

What about outdoor tortoise watering dishes that you can't keep the pigeons away from? Smart, but filthy critters. I have also been using dawn doshsoap and hot water.

Than you! I have been looking for this information. My Sulcata has outgrown everything! I will go and see if this will work for Madmax
