Yah, I was trying to o remain genderless by saying tort but I snuck a "her" in there. Based on care so far, I'm doubted its sexed right. People are more used to red an yellow sliders, box and Russians around here I imagine. Very uncommon to see redfoots so I'm sure some are put off. There was a...

Anyone in the area that can help this poor tort? This is the 4th time I've seen her posted in that horrible aquarium on Craig's list and money is way to tight right now to save her. https://okaloosa.craigslist.org/pet/5289913924.html

Good lord that is a sexy enclosure :cool:

Hmm so about $610....is that materials and labor or just labor? The glass would be easier to clean, won't scratch as easy. And if it breaks, it'll prevent your torts from getting hurt...unless that eat a piece o.o It's gonna add a nice bit of weight though. I would also look into break down...

No worries at all, mate. good luck and just lemme know if a question pops up, I check the forums pretty regularly.

Very nice work, always like a variety of finishes.

You're quite welcome, I'll be around, I check the enclosure section often.

Example of what the swivel stem looks like. Notice the threaded end. http://www.homedepot.com/p/t/202284532?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&storeId=10051&N=5yc1vZbvlvZ12kx&R=202284532#specifications Still looking for the plate...gimmie a minute Ok, here's one version of the base, they also have...

If you go to the electrical section, there'll be a rack of exterior hardware, such as waterproof outlet protectors. There will be a variety of mounting plates, meant for mounting flood lights on an exterior wall. The threading is universal, so there will be different fixed and swivel light...

Those look to be sconce? Fixtures with the glass removed

That should be the right measurement, some plywood is 48.25" to give people extra to make cuts but usually only the higher grade ply. You're gonna want to put an overhanging ledge around the top if it's only 12" too since you're going to lose a couple of inches to substrate.

You could just cut the screen out and screw some wire mesh in it's place. Should find rolls of different types in the fencing or flashing area of your local hardware store.

Lol I was debating on whether to specify how you should cut them. Ripping 1 sheet into 3 16" (depending on ply and blade width) by 8' strips. Then cut one strip into 2 46.5" by 16" pieces >.< My opinion on wood glue is that it never hurts. Getcha a small bottle of Titebond lll(green label and...

Could you please post pictures of your enclosure for reference? And current temps and humidity if it's not to much trouble :)

Re: sick sulcata Not to long ago, someone on here had told a story of...and I'm not trying to be funny....someone who had taped a vibrator to a tort to help loosen an impaction. I'm no expert, just parroting what I read.
