Yoshi's new closed chamber/tortoise table

[Subersibo]

Yoshi, my leopard tort is now going on 8 mos so I thought it would be the perfect time to finish this project and move him out of the smaller closed chamber/terrarium he was in. This new one is a little over 6 ft in length and 30" wide and high.

very nice but i'm not 100% sure if the tube you have on the top can penetrate plexi. i'm currently finishing up my closed quarters and can't wait to get it finished does your's hold a steady humidity?

I think the white thing you're referring to on top is just the light thru the curtains.
Humidity is from 65-90. Still working to keep it consistent. I used clear glass for the back an top, 3sheets of plexiglass for the front held by magnets.

Nice looking space. If that florescant light is the only UVB source:
1) the plexiglass blocks UVB
2) its not nearly enough coverage
3) its too high to be effective.

Ah ok i get it,stupid me lol. Yup, that is a fluorescent. I have a powersun 100 inside and a basking lamp and che. The fluorescent is just to brighten things up on the other side.

very nicely done it's 30" high? do you have any problems with the lights being to hot or anything at that height?

So far so good. The warm side is mid-80's to 90. Basking at 100 and the cool side stays at the low 80's. I have the mvb and basking bulb on a timer and the che on a thermostat. Hopefully ill get the humidity at 80 or higher consistently. I have about 6 water dishes around the enclosure.

Nicely done. And I think you got all the improvements nailed down. This enclosure provided some ideas for me, so I say thank you.

You're welcome! Glad you like it. I got a lot of ideas from various enclosures here. Ill put some more plants in there soon.
