Thanks! =) i'm using an open indoor enclosure. It's kinda tiny. just enough to keep 'Tortie during the night where he spends hiding in his hide. Humidity in the enclosure is around 83% in the open area and 90% in the humid hide. Hot side temp is 95F cool side is 84F lately.
He's nearing 7mos...
I'm from Davao city and we have a local breeder here. I don't know if he ships as I know it's another set of papers to acquire before permission is granted to ship it. Do a quick OLX search for sulcata and several breeders pop out. =)
Thanks and I'm glad to have shared an idea. The clay bricks are drystacked so when 'Tortie gets bigger I can just add another table 'module' and open up one side to make the floor area longer. =)
Sure thing Tom. I actually have other sullies here that I attempted the 'wet' closed chamber method but I can only afford 2x3' indoors and when I covered the enclosure, my humidity skyrockets and temp gradients are lost. I'm currently at 83% humidity ambient outdoors and ambient temp right now...
Hi! I would like to share my outdoor tortoise table. It is 3' x 6' and houses my Sulcata Tortoise named DUTortie hatched by a friend who breeds sulcatas here in the Philippines last March 27, 2017.
'Tortie spends time outdoors from 9am to 4pm getting unfiltered natural sunlight.

And these are the new arrivals I got from the same sulcata breeder friend. Three Sulcatas. One with the extra scute I called Scooty and will be kept. the other two are unnamed because I will be giving them to my cousins so they can start tort keeping also. I'll leave the naming to them...
Thanks for the warm welcome @wellington! =) Got to love Southeast Asian climate. hahaha! =) I'm hoping to learn more about tortoise husbandry here at TFO. =)
Next, meet DUTortie. The tough and rowdy Sulcata Tortoise I got as a hatchling from a breeder friend's second clutch of the season. He is 2.5mos old now.
Here's 'Tortie chowing down in his/her night time indoor enclosure.
'Tortie chowing again in his/her day time outdoor table enclosure...
Hi guys! =)
I've been reading and browsing TFO for a couple of months now and have been slowly learning tortoise husbandry. I recently got a lone Leopard Bobcockii hatchling and 4 Sulcata hatchlings where 2 of which I'm going to give my cousins so they can also enjoy raising Tortoises.
I'm...
