Yearling Sulcata

Description

I have a yearling Sulcata named Ripley (big Alien movie fan) that though is doing amazingly well, has quickly doubled in size and due to my own idiocy didn't anticipate how that would affect my co-habitating Leopard tortoise who is just a month older. I have a large enclosure and double hides, but I'm finding as of late that I need to free Bishop (the Leo) from under or behind Ripley. I should have forseen this but thought I'd have more time to plan for it. They are from the same breeder in Las Vegas, The Tortoise Supply Company (Tyler and Sarah Stewart); they do keep their Sulcatas and Leos together with little issue which is why I attempted to do the same. Unfortunately even with a 6x2x2 custom enclosure and dual spacious hides there just isn't enough space. If you are interested I'd love to hear from you. I'd ask that you describe the enclosure she would be habitating and include a picture or two. Sulcatas get bounced a lot and I feel extremely guilty for also following in those footsteps, so I want very much to find someone who can commit and avoid the issues I'm having. I am unable to provide a second enclosure at this time; my mother is living with us temporarily after splitting from my father and I have no space for an appropriate enclosure for her. As it is, I talked my husband into literally getting rid of our living room couch to make room for this current enclosure. I find adding images tends to find them too big or I am unable to attach as many as I'd like, so I've made a Google Photos album and have a link to make things easier at your request. There are pictures of when I obtained her (which shows size compared to my Leo) and also current pictures. Craigslist will not let me post said link here. Her diet is extremely varied with Mazuri, produce items from the grocery store (assorted greens, mushrooms, zucchini, summer squash, fresh herbs, etc) and an herb/botanical dry mix from Tortoise Supply's website as well as several supplements. I live plant the vivarium with my own grass and clover mix, as well as appropriate weeds/grass to balance her diet. I've included additional photos of their enclosure: I have practiced the monsoon season therapy for their first year, with daily soaks and higher humidity with consistently warm temperatures per the Tortoise Forum online. It keeps the kidneys hydrated and prevents the shell from pyramiding. Thanks for the consideration. Rehoming fee very negotiable and trades are welcome (please have something in mind already before offering a one-liner asking what I want as a trade). It's ripping me apart to do this, so suggestions are welcome as well are other enclosures you may have to sell that I can accommodate them both separately. I do need to have space to hang the heat and lights inside the enclosure due to asshat cats in the house - but please let me know if you have something that I could make work. I really want to keep her here and healthy. Cheers.
