Sulcata tortoise outdoor enclosure

[Wachow321]

I have a sulcata that is 7 inches long and I wanted to know if I could use a really nice wooden dog house for him to sleep in at night. I would get a ramp and during the fay he can roam around the yard. Does that sound good please answer fast because I leave for camp tomorrow and I want to get it partially set up today.

That sounds fine. Just make sure it's heated and sealed to hold all the heat in

do you think i need a heating pad or lamp becuase the house in insulated and i live in los angeles so it doesnt get extremely cold.

I'd say a heating pad for his sleeping area. He might avoid going into the kennel to sleep if it is bright in there. I'm not sure about this, though. My tort just seeks the dark when he is tired.

I would use a CHE with a ceramic socket... hang it inside..
he may need to be taught how to use it.. so make sure whomever is watching him.. puts him away/in it at night.
