Hi guys,
I am creating a 4'x2' custom enclosure in hopes of housing a box turtle. This enclosure is made of melamine on three sides, and the top and bottom, with a sliding acrylic doors in the front. I have sealed the floor and about 5" up the sides with aquarium safe silicone. The lights, fluorescent for UVB and another fixture for either CHE or basking bulb, are built into the top of the enclosure on the inside.
I have designed this enclosure to be mostly sealed as to keep humidity in, but my question is will this be suitable for a hatchling turtle, or is it too big? I do not currently own the turtle I intend to keep.
