I'm so excited I found this! I found there is way to much conflicting information on Sulcatas. Our family has two little/giant additions. We live in mideastern Oklahoma. Our weather is crazy to say the least. We have a small farm with 20 acres, we haven't decided on location & size on the future outdoor pen/enclosure yet. I'm in the processes of revising my current set up for our babies, thanks to some of the information I found on this site. I do want them to have a great start with proper care. Don't go crazy on me, I'm changing it. Current set up is 75 gal tank, new Mercury vapor bulb should be here tomorrow, we live in a small town so Amazon is my friend. (only had the coil light for one day when I found this forum and immediately turned it off!!!) I've done a ton of research & this is the first site that stated how bad the coil lights where. Basking light spot 100* cool area averages 80-85. Getting new substrate haven't decided yet what type. I currently have calcium sand, (recommended from where I got him from. I questioned why & was told because they can absorb the calcium & don't have to be supplemented. Also told not to feed on the sand.) Any thoughts suggestion extremely welcome. My grandparents , aunts and uncles all raise Cal desert tortoise for as long as I can remember. They have a couple that are now in the hands of third generation. So this species is completely new to me. Please point me in the right direction. I want what's best for them. Our family also consists of A bearded dragon, fish, cats, dogs, goats, chickens, Guineas, cows & horses. Oh and three kiddos! That are super excited about these two additions! I'm gonna really start looking thru this forum... Thanks Again! Happy to be apart of this group!
