Hot Box Question

[ddaigle]

Are the hollow logs sufficient enough for baby sulcata or do I need to have a hot box also?

If the enclosure temperature Is correct, there is no need to heat your box.

Do you mean humid box? Sulcatas need 80F temps and 80 percent humidity, so if your enclosure cannot maintain these you need a humid hide area for him. A log will not suffice. If though you have a closed chamber enclosure that stays warm and humid everywher then a log is sufficient.

Thank you! I have him in a 40 gal aquarium. My humidity is at 70. Im planning on buying coco coir to add more humidity.

You don't need a "hot box", but you do need a humid hide. Half logs don't get it done.

Move him to a bigger enclosure as soon as you can too. 40 is really on the small side, even for a hatchling.
