You could build your own, but there are grow tents that are 6x3 I believe. I‘m not sure how to build a closed chamber that‘s 8x4.Hello any of you guys got any reccomendations for like a 4x8 enclosure? i need it for my tortoise to last me a while and its gonna be indoor also my tortoise is a hatching so i need like a closed chamber type
I’m pretty sure there’s some out there I’m just finding some ideas maybe wood around and to make a 8x4?

You could seal the wood to keep it from rotting, wood does absorb water sealers is what I did for my enclosures.I’m pretty sure there’s some out there I’m just finding some ideas maybe wood around and to make a 8x4?

It‘s more about size then age. But I’m not an expert on redfoots let’s tag some more experienced members. @Toddrickfl1 @ZEROPILOTMaybe how about I just keep upgrading her enclosure until she’s big enough to take like 60 humidity how about that? How old you think she’ll be by then
If you are not "handy" and want a state of the art closed chamber, look into the Animal Plastics line. Many of the top tortoise breeders in the country use these and the company will work with you to create exactly what you want or need.Hello any of you guys got any reccomendations for like a 4x8 enclosure? i need it for my tortoise to last me a while and its gonna be indoor also my tortoise is a hatching so i need like a closed chamber type
2 months is my tortoiseHow old is your Redfoot? I'd recommend a closed chamber till at least 1 1/2 - 2 years or about 6". Once your tort is that big you can get away with lower humidity and an open table.
Here's something basic I built for my older Redfoot. Maybe it'll give you some ideas.
New indoor/winter enclosure build. Looking for suggestions.
I'm about to start building a new indoor/winter enclosure for my Redfoot Murphy. This thread will be a work in progress and I'm open to any and all suggestions. The enclosure will be in my basement/pond room. The area I've got cleared out to work with is about 14' x 10'. This is going to be a...tortoiseforum.org
this is a 2 feet x 4 feet wooden enclosure. For the flooring, I a cut out a piece of the shower curtain to line the floor against moisture damage.Hello any of you guys got any reccomendations for like a 4x8 enclosure? i need it for my tortoise to last me a while and its gonna be indoor also my tortoise is a hatching so i need like a closed chamber type
