I have desert torts in there. Yeah, a Sulcatta needs a much bigger enclosure. I'd hoped to discourage digging by having the burrows already built. I've only had two incidents- on the first or second day, Buttercup tried to dig under a little shrub on top of her burrow. I moved her to in front of the burrow and told her that was where to go when she got hot. She's never dug again. Koko walks around the edges and has twice tried to dig in the same corner. I don't know if he can't find his way back to the burrow, or forgets, or what. I just buried a patio block in the corner, and he hasn't tested it out yet. The 4x4 walls feel like they could be solid enough to hold a Sulcata, and for sure 4x6 or 6x6 would be- but they get so expensive. Just a 16 foot 4x4 is $20...I think lots of people use concrete blocks for Sulcatas.
