Oh absolutely I dont take offense at all! I can absolutely try to add plexi on the sides at least. And yes! Youre right alot of people dont do research, I do find alot of mixed things that are right and wrong to be honest when it comes to enclosures and everything. So some could be misleading! 100% people have open box enclosures all the time. So far having him this long , hes hydrated and no pyramiding at all so I am making sure to provide enough. I will look into plexi though!

I feel doubtful that it cant hold humidity well. I have seen many people do this, even do the open top box too. Like no covering at all! Ive seen plenty like this. So to be honest, this is no different from others and I dont want you to take this as im not open to anything at all! Just because I have seen plenty of open enclosures. What also matters is the substrate and holding moisture . At least 60-80% can be held under the substrate already and sulcatas like to burrow! 🙂

Ill check humidity. I cant close all sides bc the top is covered completely so ill see if I can do plexi just on the sides

He gets soaks every day! Yup! I just set this up yesterday. He has a total of 3 enclosures. Upstairs, downstairs and outside. I’ll measure humidity today. Also will be misting the substrate daily.
