Tortoise enclosure!

X-mas is in a couple of days and while you still can get it, I highly suggest get the X-mas tree storage bin! If you still keep your tortoise in a glass tank aka vivarium, this would be a huge up grade for them and cost so much less! Ill be getting one myself and getting rid of the old one... started to smell funky! lol... I would love to see you guy's design! Post up what you guys come up with here ^_^v GO TEAM GREEK TORTOISE!

Where do you find them?

this is the only one i can find near my area! walmart i hear sells them.

I've used this as a closed chamber enclosure. with a few mods and tricks ive learn its not that hard.

Excellent reminder ... thank you ... let's all run, not walk before or on Dec 26th (sale!) and grab tree storage containers, mega size!

Sometimes, at WalMart they are outside where the garden department is. I think at K-Mart also. Maybe cause of size, or cause the trees are out there. I did not see them at my Target this year. They had the bags instead, but perhaps in other areas. And yes, The Container Store.

They make great containers, because the sides are tall enough. 14", I think.
I like keeping the lid on, but cutting out most of the middle (leave a cross piece or two for security and to hold tube fluorescent lights if you use them). I also spray the outside with white or off white spray paint (made for plastic) to make the sides more opaque.
About 3-7 days after Xmas, places like Walmart sell them during their post Xmas sales; down to about $30. It takes a couple of days for them to lower the price.
It's coming up!

for 39 bucks its still a good price! My heart sank when i bought the zoomed tortoise house for 100! I felt so stupid but that was when i was a noobie! ^_^ Never making that mistake again! lol....

OMG OMG OMG OMG! Kmart's Christmas tree bin is 12 bucks! I had to call just in case because it's a 30 minute drive for me lol... the size is 52"24"24". ITS BETTER THAN THE CONTAINER STORE!

Since Christmas tree bags have come out, no one around me sells these anymore unfortunately.

Thats what i thought! I checked the website and I didnt see it. i called just in case and didn't want to look stupid when i get there. Give it a shot. it wouldn't hurt. I was so socked when he told me they have it in stock.

Those bastard! Drove for 30 minutes and all they had was the bag! I swear they will tell you anything to get you to the store! They lied! I was so heart broken [WEARY FACE][WEARY FACE][WEARY FACE][WEARY FACE][WEARY FACE][WEARY FACE][WEARY FACE][WEARY FACE][WEARY FACE]

I'm sorry they lied to you, it is so irritating. keep looking, there's got to be one somewhere.

Our Walmart has them on sale during the week after Xmas. At least they have for the past 2 years; last year they were out in the garden section with other Xmas stuff on sale.
I haven't looked to see if they are in the stores now, but after Xmas is definitely a better time to buy them.

I saw them at HOME DEPOT. They wont be cheaper than Walmart. Ever.

It's PERFECT. Holds heat and humidity in like a dream and it's tall enough that I can have my lights hung inside and have the lid on with no issues. (I have small lights and they are on a thermostat to not get too hot).
It's big enough for her and is a great temporary indoor home for the wee ones

If anyone has a Farm and Fleet, they sell them. I got one for my baby Russian. I'll be keeping the lid on and cutting holes for lights, I'm excited to see how it works with humidity. If not, I have a back up viv.
