Just wanting to know if everything looks OK, if better pictures are needed in can provide.

I also wanted to clarify good soaking parameters because I DO NOT want to over soak (if that's a thing) because to my understanding it can cause shell-rot. I'm just unfamiliar with the topic l. Like what can cause it, how to prevent it, and how to prevent it if I ever come into contact with it.

(Sorry about the poor lighting)

Sulcata don't really get shell rot from soaking or high humidity. Looking good to me. Soaking every day until around two years then you can cut back to about three times or so a week until they are larger. If you never see him/her drink on its own then keep it more often. This is how I did my leopard which the care of the two are the same

Ok thank you, I'll just keep doing what I'm doing then.
