    Indoor enclosure, cherry head, need ideas

    Oh, my dad started the PVC enclosure, without me.... And has taken it over, but it is now on pause due to weather and health... of course he's changed things (I guess that's where I get it from!) He thinks the PVC won't be study enough to move so he's improvising a frame. And he said he'll try...

    Indoor enclosure, cherry head, need ideas

    Thanks for the ideas :) His current indoor enclosure has a ramp that is 13" wide which seems plenty wide, but when I wrote 12" on the diagram I didn't remember how wide the ramp was. When I bought him the guy said he'd only get about 10" so I'm hoping he doesn't grow much more 😬 maybe I'll make...

    Indoor enclosure, cherry head, need ideas

    I might do something like this... Not quite as large as I would want, but my dad mentioned they might build a greenhouse on their property and then Tortoise would have that for the summer or longer depending on how well it keeps the heat

    Building your own Expanded PVC Enclosed Chamber – For Beginners

    So I can never leave well enough alone.... Has anyone made a double layer enclosure with a connecting ramp using E-PVC? Would this E-PVC enclosure be sturdy enough to stack? I am also planning on making it 6x3 😳 I was thinking 3 horizontal braces per roof as well as a vertical brace along the...

    Rocks!

    If the veterinarian doesn't specialize in reptiles, maybe you could ask if they can send the radiographs to a specialist or even the vet school? They may charge extra for a specialist to review the radiographs, but a radiologist should be able to know the difference between calcification and...

    Indoor enclosure, cherry head, need ideas

    Thanks. That is so helpful. I'm not really liking the idea of a grow tent with the solid walls (all the photos with the open doors I thought that part was clear!), he likes to look out and likes interaction, and so do I. I might be back to plan "a" and making my own enclosure.... I'll start...

    Indoor enclosure, cherry head, need ideas

    Thanks Alex...I must have mis-typed if I wrote "breeder"... I have a ~10" 10 year (?) old cherry head, so I guess I need to go bigger than that. I'll look into an interior grow house as recommended by @ZEROPILOT If I get one from ac infinity I'll let you know how it goes :)

    Redfoot indoor area advice needed

    Hi! I know you posted a while ago, but would you mind telling me more about this grow house? Do you have any photos? I'm guessing you can walk into it? Thank you for any information. My poor cherry head needs a bigger place to live

    Indoor enclosure, cherry head, need ideas

    Thanks. I am trying to figure out how to get as big as I can in that room, just trying to figure out how to keep it all off the rug, and with the dry winters here how to keep the humidity up. The plan was to move into a new house that we would be in indefinitely and build a large outdoor...

    Indoor enclosure, cherry head, need ideas

    Hi everyone, This forum is so so helpful, so many wonderful people here. TLDR: ideas for indoor enclosure/setting up a room *semi-temporarily* hopefully will move houses in 4-5 years. Currently living in Northeastern US anyway I need to come up with a creative solution. I was going to buy an...

    8’ x 3’ x 2’ two story XPVC build

    That's such a sweet enclosure! wondering how it's been holding up over 3 years? Anything you would do different? also, I saw you use computer fans to disperse the heat from the lamps, is that what the silver tube in a square hole is? (Photo with the cute poodle) thanks!
