I'm ready to purchase a sudanese Sulcata hatchling but I wanted a quick review of my setup from the experienced folks in this forum. So, I have built a 4x2x2 pvc enclosure with ambient temps remaining 80-85 all day. The humidity ranges from 75-95% depending on if I am opening the doors a lot or not. Basking light ranges from 95-105 degrees . During the day I have uv ho florescent bulb and I also use a 65 watt flood bulb attached to a movable rod that I can lower or raise depending on temps. And at night I have a 100watt ceramic heat emitter that turns on when the hide drops below 81degrees. I have one all day water dish and one food dish from pot bases. I also have a cuddle bone that the tortoise can nibble on at his leisure. Any improvements or suggestions to have optimal enclosure for sudanese Sulcata hatchling? Below I'm attaching photos. In the pictures the humidity might seem a little low because I was taking pictures with the doors open because the windows were steamed up. In the last picture I attached image of how I can vary the height of the lighting inside using clips and a rod. Also the ceramic heat emitter is on a thermostat, and the basking and ho florescent bulb are on a 13 hr timer. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks
