So I just wanted to share with you guys the enclosures I have for my Sulcatas(Jack & Sally) and get some advice on how to make it more comfortable and suitable for them. I just recently moved so I had them in a 10g tank while I finished up around the house. I built them a 2’W x 3.5’L x 8†H outdoor enclosure. The substrate is a 50/50 mix of Sphagnum peat moss and organic top soil. The substrate is about 2.5†deep I figured it was good enough for now since sally started to burrow around.
As for their inside enclosure I forgot I had an unused Ikea cabinet so I grabbed some leftover roofing tiles(?) and cut it to size, placed in the bottom and put in about 2†of 50/50 TS/SPM. For lighting I have a 60w CHE and a 65w basking lamp (I have a 75 & 100w as a backup). I live in LA so they spend most of their day outside in the sun and only come in for night time. I have them sitting on top of my bearded dragon Brock.
Sally is about 5 weeks old and Jack is about 3 weeks. I have them feeding on both greens and Missouri pellets. I’ve given them dandelions and clovers but I didn’t have much in my yard. I’ve been looking for organic seeds so I can grow them in their enclosures and in a garden bed I have.
If you guys have any questions, concerns or advice please let me know.
Before I forget, on the weekends I let them explore another section of the house so they wont get bored.
