Fast & Easy Sulcata Tortoise Closed Chamber

In this video we go through the setup of an easy semi-portable home for a hatchling sulcata tortoise until about 2 or 3 lbs. When transporting I usually use the heated seat, remove what's not needed and open the sunroof.
One (1) small scale is recommended for recording weight weekly or so and
One (1) handheld digital thermometer is absolutely essential.
