Okay we got a big sulcatta. Weighs 120 pounds. We set it up in a spare concrete floor room so it can't ruin the floor. I set up uvd blubs and heatlamps. Is there anything I am forgetting with this setup? LEt me know as I am trying to inprove the setup right away

HELLO
RUSS GURLEY WRITES A GREAT BOOK ABOUT THE HUSBANDRY OF SULCATAS
I WOULD NOT RECOMEND KEEPING A SULCATA THAT SIZE INDOORS WITHOUT OUTSIDE ACCESS
THE SMELL WILL BE HORRIBLE INSIDE AT THAT SIZE
THEY POOP LIKE HORSES
THEY NEED AT LEAST IN MY OPINION A 1/4 ACRE TO ROAM OR A LARGE DOG RUN
CHELONIA.ORG MIGHT HELP YOU TOO WITH INFO
GOOD LUCK
