I have a 2 inch sulcata, I don’t use UV lighting in his enclosure, instead I put him outside 2 hours a day. I have a tortoise box that has chicken wire covering and a small portion is just a solid wood covering where he can get water and shade himself.
Yesterday he was in the sun a lot, walking around his box and just being happy. Today every time I check on him, he’s in the boxed part receiving no sun. It’s been 2 hours and 20 minutes because I’m worried he hasn’t gotten any sun at all.
The only difference is that I fed him outside this time, leaving his food in the boxed area so it won’t wilt. He seems to have eaten most of it and I don’t think he’s currently eating still.
Should I trust that he’s gotten enough sun? I really don’t think he’s gotten any. I check on him every 10 minutes or so. It’s 88 degrees right now and not too hot. I do mist down his box shade area before letting him out so maybe she’s enjoying the humidity? naturally it’s 45% humidity outside today, I live in Florida on the river.
