Help to prepare for 15 y/o Sulcata foster/adoption

For our temporary indoor adult Sulcata enclosure, how much substrate and what type do you suggest? What do you use in your winter houses? It will have a plywood floor.

Welcome to the forum! There is a LOT of bad tortoise info out there on youtube and FB and other places, this is a good place. Hopefully you have already seen this: https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/info-for-new-people-please-read-this-first.202363/#post-2036954

Letting a tortoise wander around a house is not great. Lots of people do it, especially those on instagram, but its neither safe nor healthy for the tortoise. It may be you need to until you can get a heated outdoor box set up for him (directions in the link above).

Thank you so much for rescuing one in need!

I'd get some remnant vinyl flooring on the plywood, so moisture doesn't soak up the wood, that's what I did

Thanks. Is there a particular place to look for remnant vinyl?
