Your homemade tortoise enclosure?

[tortgirl123]

Hey guys!
Need some ideas for making a tortoise enclosure. I want to see pics of yours! And maybe the way you have everything set up in the enclosure.
All answers are appreciated!! Thanks

What kind of enclosure do you want to build? The hole room or tank for example?

 

[tortgirl123]

Nothing huge! But I want to see all pics just to get some ideas

Some of my enclosure

I took an old dresser , flipped it on its back and lined it with plastic its temporary but working good until a better on can be built!

A bookcase on it's back is the base.
Frame work done and placed on top, after lighting and heat installed on the top.
Hopefully the pictures tell the story.

Where did you get those CHE fixtures? Or do they come with the CHE? Sorry if it's an obvious question, kinda new to the tort world

I'm another one who turned an old dresser on it's back and lined it with a tarp. I also added wheels to it for mobility. It's not beautiful, but I have a separate reptile room so that's ok.

Love your enclosure. I am in a process of building one for my russian too. Right now he resides in a 40gal tank and I think its too small for him



New enclosure in making




12 hours in and about $90 so far. So not bad compared to $150 that I paid for my my glass tank.

Here is a panorama of my pancake pairs tank. The hide can't really be seen, it is 12"x12"x2" on the right side.

Here is mine. It is working out great. Torts love it and it is easy to clean and change

I love the encloser, especially the window!! Great idea!!

Really easy enclosure for my little ones. This was taken before I put a ton of sphagnum moss in the corners and around the water dish. The heat light is attached to the lid.

Just finished building this today, I'm very happy with it.

I went from a mortar mixing tray with no top to this. Please keep in mind i havent actually "built" anything yet this is just to get our Sully Aleister into a closed chamber until i can do a real one. But it works great, lights up high enough and the 60 watt CHE is nice and low over the hide which stays at a toasty 85 degrees F and 90% humidity.

56 gallon rubbermaid tub
$40 sheet of duraplex from Lowe's. (although its thin but this stuff is expensive!!!)

Hi, this is a simple table I made for my 5" redfoot Dobby. Is a 24"Wx60"Lx12"H all wood table with a side in acrilic for direct sunlight.

Just competed the enclosure for my russian. I have to buy more substrate and some more live plants.

Please keep suggestions coming
