Greetings! I am adopting a 4 yo male Sulcata soon and creating a home before hand. We are going to build the house designed by Tom in a previous thread, if anyone is familiar. My husband is a builder so I am lucky!
That said, Ive been thinking about how they like to burrow. Does anyone think its possible to dig down under part of where the box will sit, box it in underground a bit (plywood lined 'hole'), leave a hole in the floor of the house- thus leaving a spot for him to burrow down for comfort. Is this crazy? Does anyone foresee any problems with this?
also, basic care question... We reside in Virginia, where it is cold this time of year most days. I know sunlight is important, when the weather is ok. Do we leave the door open to the house even when its cold (40 degrees or so) or keep them out of the cold air? Will Sulcatas even go into the cold voluntarily for a bit?
Thanks in advance..Im so grateful for this site and all the knowledge!
