Hello My name is Priscilla and I have 3 Sulcatas one being the reason for this post is a 5 year old 50 pounder named DOZER <3. The other two are little babes
We recently got him a few months ago and we adore him , me more than my husband.
We built him an outdoor enclosure that he loves but plan to expand next season but currently working on his indoor garage enclosure , its pretty much built and is 6 x10 with a portion extending into cave but I have some questions about heating and lighting
I purchased a 125 watt halogen bulb for UVB/UVA light and heat
He has a heat mat 29 x29 that he loves and heats his outdoor cave nicely that we will move into an indoor enclosure
I put 3x3 of flat stone for basking
and plan to use a electric heat blower for continues heating. I'm aware this could be pricey but we are fine with this we were aware that husbandry for these guys can be pricey but open to alternatives
the floor of the garage is covered in rubber mats and then covered with 1st cut hay
The entirety of enclosure will be covered overhead ( dome like ) with poly sheeting to keep heat in and humidity
my questions are is this sufficient for supporting adequate heat in an indoor enclosure? is bulb wattage appropriate? bath soaking how do others accomplish this in the winter months?
do they like enrichment in enclosure ? I feel like they would get bored. is there anything else I should be thinking of. Also planning on growing his food so would love some tips on this.
Open To suggestions and critiques Thanks guys!
