A few years ago I impulsivly purchased a 6" Sulcata. That night Tortue's home was a kiddie pool and hastily constructed outdoor home. A month later he had a 16x24 enclosure. A year and 4 more Sulcata later they now have multiple enclosures to roam and a tort "condo" to live in. I've since added 3 Leopard's and 3 Indian Star's to the gang!
The best advice I can give to a new Sulcata/tort owner is to plan to expand. You'll either not be able to have just one or your lil guy will soon be big and wanting more space. The more area they have to wander the happier they seem to be.
The 1st outdoor "shack."
Movin' on up!
The "Tort Condo" and weed/grass grazing area.
Tort "mud room" entrance to shed and hybiscus trees.
Grazing area planted with Grazing Tortoise seed mix from CarolinaPetSupply.com plus additional bermuda and rye grass seed and dandelion seeds.
North rock/tree run.
Dirt area. Eventally want to add large flat climbing rocks.
West rock/tree run.
Southwest end Indian Star enclosure.
South grass grazing area.
