I'm not sure who had her before me but they had not taken very good care of her i think. She spends her days outside and i have a small shallow pool for her(maybe 3 in deep), but comes in a few times a day and wonders about and comes in to sleep at night, I hope that is normal idk really, but she likes sleeping inside and doesn't make a mess, i dont have anything on floor for her to pick up or anything. I am completely new at this but she seems happy.

ok this is second morning she woke up having to go and had an accident, is letting her sleep where ever she likes a bad idea? should i make some kind of bed for her anyone have any suggestion on what to do for a bed that would be easy to clean up if she has a accident? I was thinking one of those gardening large plastic tubs from home depot but idk... what do others do with Sulcata that sleep inside at night?
