Just a few little tweaks to Sullys home, new coir, planted in more clover and some dandelion, changed his rocks around a bit

Beautiful enclosure! Care to come over here and make me one?

I can provide accommodation, if you don't mind sharing a room with a tortoise. :p

That's it!
Keep the good ideas coming!
I like the riverstones you got layed out around the basking and soaking area... this just might show up in my enclosure except I have a real nice piece of slate to use for basking and feeding.
is that a 4'X6' table?

its a 5x3, made it from a dresser, the sides are made the spare wood from busting up the drawers and some log siding I had on his old enclosure.. For Tylers question, there was some spacing between the side boards so I used the hay and vine decor plants to fill in, the only thing about that is the hay gets every where, constantly picking it out.. As for the plants i go out to the yard every few days or so and dig up new clover, grasss dandelion etc

I would call that a "deluxe" sulcata enclosure. :)

I can't wait to see what his habitat will look like when he eventually moves outside.

lol, yes he is a little mess maker, he loves to dig, which is the reason I wanted to tweak his setup, took every thing out and added another 2 bricks of coir, I love that stuff, its so nice, feels so soft and clean, Sully loves it, now he has much more deepth to dig, check out this pic, lol, digging to China

WalkingRock does the same thing in his house which means most of it goes out the door and piles up. a couple of times durring the summer I have to shovel it all back in and level out his floor so he can start again! I figure it keeps him busy...
