    Very nice home. Sulcatas make great pets, they're really social and are most deserving of a nice warm home, especially during Canadian winters. Very nice job.

    This is too cool. The kids dad and I keep australian shingle back/sleepy lizards or bob tail lizards. We keep two of them. They are great friends. Usually find them sleeping on top of each other under their lamp(apparently what they need to digest their food-we use fruit for Lizzy and peas and Corn for bonnie-Love your enclosures. Beautiful space and space just for them. Can't seem to add a pic~was going to show you our enclosure to(inside one)

    Grate setup. I'm in Washington State and I built a shed for Dexter my Salcota at 80lbs it had to be outside. Got to have him outside all winter. I check on him every day and it worked well. Now I have a big rabbit in his area and they get along well. Thank you

    My sulcatta roams my whole yard, which is a half acre. He goes from end to end many times throughout the day. Why don't you give Dozer more of your yard?
    I am getting ideas for an enclosure to be able to keep mine outside full time. I'm in Phoenix, Arizona, and it gets to 32 degrees in the winter. Thank you for this video!

      This enclosure was for WINTER housing as stated in the title of this video. The tortoises had a much larger outdoor enclosure for the summer time. Sadly this greenhouse burned down last year and my tortoises perished in the fire, you can see my other video on this channel commemorating their lives.
      I live on a new farm property now and have 3 new sulcatas that have a much larger outdoor pen.
