:::::My sulcata "scooter" is just about a year old and I want to start to plan my perm. outdoor enclosure for him. What is the best size and what material should i use as walls? Powder caoted mesh buried somewhat in the ground or??????. I know of most types of plants I can plant but mainly I want to make sure he stays in the enclosure. Any ideas or thoughts will be of much help... thanks!

I plan on sectioning it off and only giving him a certain amount of the enclosure to roam for now. He will still come inside at night as usual until be gets a little older. I'm not I want to go with chain link.. is there other options? I visited my local zoo the other day and they have very large sulcatas in an enclosure made of heavy duty powder coated mesh 1"x1" mesh buried in the ground.. it seemed to hold them in just fine along with cementing 4x4's as a support...would this work for me? I would bury it a foot down and probably bury cender blocka as well and put wood boards that way he cant see out Also is 2 feet high enough? I also intend on puting a top on it till he gets bigger made of chicken wire and 2"x2"'s...... let me know what you think and if there are anymore ideas that too! Thanks again
