My nephews Sulcuta Indoor enclosure

[SoCal]

I wanted to post some pics of a 4x8 indoor enclosure for my nephews Sulcuta.. The pet store didn't give the best info for starting out his Sulcuta, so it has been started dry and has some pyramiding.. So this was made to try and help get him on the right track.. His tortoise is probably 9 months.. I will try to post more pics once it's all set up

Looking good to me, like how you've raised base off the floor. I'm assuming there is some cross beams in the base to hold weight once substrate is in. Keep pictures coming.

Yep.. It's a 2x4 frame with 2 cross bars and 2 2x4s in the middle supporting those to the base to the base, 4x4 on the corners.. I think the bottom plywood is 3/4"..This thing weighs a ton and is rock solid.. All was sealed and then a 6 mil liner was put inside.. The top a frame is made of 2x3 and has plexi-glass Windows..

I really like the design. What are you going to do with this thing when it outgrows it in a year?

Sell it?
There will be many members interested in an enclosure that is so well made!
I like the design!

A lovely enclosure! Lucky tort.

Is it on wheels?
Maybe before it gets a pet inside, put some sort of casters under it?

Oli's enclosure has wheels, making it much easier for me to move it to/from the sun.

Great job. I love the way you did the top. Will be super for hanging the lights.
