Hello! I was wondering if I could get help on the burrow I made for our desert tortoise in Tucson, AZ. For a while, it was maintaining 86-89°F and now gets up to 93°F (air temps). Should I dig deeper? Or what? And if I dig deeper how do I prevent flooding from monsoon rains? My DT won't dig himself and just lays there even though it is 93°F and then around 5-6PM will come to the door to eat and come inside. Here is what I currently have and a picture of the structure itself that is under the dirt. It's 6-8inches of dirt on top, green structure is already angled down 30°, and I tried sloping the outside more with a tarp slightly covering the entrance to direct rain but giving enough room for him to get in. Thank you soo much!
