My 26 inch male sulcata (Rocky) has just been moved to his new 1200 sqft. enclosure...I hope its big enough. His previous one was over 1600 sqft. I'm going to soon build a raised off the ground, heated barn/box for him. I would also like to make a mud wallow.
Question, as self-explanatory as "mud wallow" may sound, how exactly do you go about doing it? I would assume dig a hole and fill it with water...But my concern is, does the soil type matter? The soil in the yard is WONDERFUL for growing things, as the previous owners were farmers...Perfectly moist, slightly clumpy, black dirt. Almost like compost. I'm not sure how well this would work for a mud wallow, as most I see are from people in Arizona where it looks to be almost clay...any thoughts?
Any other ideas on enrichment for his enclosure? If ever I can find plants he won't destroy I may add them to his enclosure.
Hey, off-topic here. In 41 minutes all of the dooms-day folks are going to be scratching their heads. Cheers for the world NOT ending! Woo-hoo..
