yes it is a sulcata he was very interested in the build the bricks on the patio are to keep him off because he like to take his morning dump on my sandals.

here is the rest of the pic and pretty much how it is sitting as of now still need to frame up the back wall and add some more studs here and there and put more 2x6's across the top. some of the boards in the pics are only temporary as support such as the one going across the front viewing area. the framing should get wrapped up this weekend if all goes well. then i can get on with sheeting the walls with 3/4 ply. paint all the frame work insulate the walls and sheet the outside of the tank. it is still up in the air as to what i will use for exterior sheeting. i am looking for something that will be strong enough to help support the walls and tie them all together and maybe be a little more visually apealing than painted plywood.
