wow thank you so much! I have a water dish for him now since I’ve taken over! Tucker has a covered space but he lives in the backyard and we let him openly graze and walk around! He has a covered home but it’s on a ramp and a wood pallet is the floor- we fill it with wood chips and dirt for comfortMy sulcata has done really well in Phoenix for the last 20 years, we had to stop him from burrowing about 8 years ago after an incident where he got trapped in his burrow for 4 days. He doesn't need a burrow but he does need a covered space that can feel like a burrow (I added a picture of what he has now note it gets good shade to help stay cooler) and it's best to have dirt floors- you can spray water on the dirt floor every couple days and that will help create a more burrow like feel
Also I know it's hard in Arizona but he should always have access to water even if it's a smaller bowl than what he can soak in. Arizona is hotter and drier than their natural climate and they can do really well there-but they definitely need access to water all the time. If it's a smaller bowl, He'll put his head into the water and soak/drink when he needs it. Ideally you'd change it out every day to prevent bacteria growth but if it goes a few days it will be fine.
