Thank you Tom & Yvonne for the great night box ideas! Daisy is my 5 y.o. Sulcata and we have set up a night box based on Tom's set up shown in this post; with a linoleum floor. She LOVES it! I have a clean-up question for you though and hope you have some magic words of wisdom! At 5 years she is...
