Hey, thanks for your suggestions! I actually thought of sloping the soil, too. I sort of had a mind to pack the back two corners, the rear wall, and slope it toward the front where the water basin (a concrete mixing tub) would sit suspended a few inches off the substrate. As it sits on a slope, he can crawl in from the back or hide beneath it on the sides. And since it will be in front of the enclosure I can easily get to it for frequent water changes. Thanks to Mike H. for the suspended water basin idea!
As for attempting to find another Sav, I'll definitely introduce them slowly, carefully, over a period of time. If they tolerate each other, great. If they don't, I can build another slightly smaller enclosure, probably 8'x4'x4' using a stock tank.
