Hello Everyone!
First, let me say that I am so glad to have found this forum!
I have a baby Sulcata named Satchel, whom I fondly refer to as The Satchel Monster. He'll turn 3 years old this October.
Here's my issue:
When I got him, I was living in Phoenix, Arizona in a rented home with a large grassy backyard. I've now moved to Austin, Texas with my boyfriend and, for financial reasons, am renting an apartment instead of house.
I am at a loss about how to properly care for my baby in this little apartment. I have purchased a UVB lamp and from a local reptile store, but I really don't want to keep him inside more than absolutely necessary.
Our patio gets sun from about 8am until noon, and I do have about 3 square feet of sod growing in flats, but we're on the second floor and I have serious concerns about my sully making a terrifying attempt at escape. He's a determined climber.
I'll only be in this apartment for a year and (fingers crossed) I'll be renting another house with a yard when I move. But until then, I'm not sure what to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I've attached a picture of my satchel monster sleeping in a large pile of clean laundry about two days after I moved into my new place. He likes to find comfy places to sleep.
