Hey all, New here!
My Partner and I are looking into getting our first tort soon ( lots and lots of hours researching everything, doublechecking and triplechecking info! I already have diet planned out and have many ways to obtain and grow the food we will need through organic, pesticide free means) We are getting prepared for everything BEFORE purchase. of course! ( Uvb, che,* already have tstats* substrate, hides, food...)
So far no serious questions seem to be presenting themselves to me, but once we get everything set up and ready/calibrated I will post a photo for you all. ( making sure humidity, temps and all are ready and set so we can adjust as necessary)
We just built our table 20" x 4' and 11" high walls and are planning on a sulcata ( I absolutely am prepared for the size and are actually really looking forward to it! We will make sure he or she gets plenty of sun and grazing time outdoors too even just as a wee one! When ready, an outdoor pen will be provided!), looking at peoples photos this size table seemed pretty reasonable starting size for one single animal ( surprisingly there are not a lot of numbers regarding table size and some stuff is conflicting, so im just going by tables used for multiples and went from there), but we can build another pretty easily when this is out grown( access to metal/machine shop any time * partner does metalwork for a living* ) while still an indoor tort. Once large enough ( we will be in a much warmer climate by then than the northeast!) an outdoor enclosure will be made
