I can't seem to find the entire layout as you said.
Only that it is kept on carpeting, has water and cuttlebone available , is fed a couple of handfulls of grocery store greens every couple of days plus calcium.
And that you keep it at temperatures between 75 - 120 degrees.
I didn't see the size of the enclosure mentioned, maybe I missed it.
EJ, don't you think this could mislead people who are new to keeping sulcatas?

120 degrees is way above the recommended temperature, and store bought greens are not recommended as an exclusive diet.
Is there any particular reason you are providing such high temperatures, and feeding the greens only?

Terry.
