My redfoot is much more active in this enclosure as it holds humidity and heat so much better than the open top. Got a picture mid drink.

I used multiple coats and still have lots to touch up. My redfoot is still small and not much of a digger. On top of the caulking and kennel seal I have a thick tarp under the soil and repti bark to help hold moisture in and a extra layer of protection

Thank you!

Thank you! The wifes requirement is that it looked like it belonged in the house with all of our white trim. The fancy legs are pre spun from home depot nice little touch

Interior wise the entire thing is sealed with kennel seal, multiple coats. 100% waterproof and non toxic

5 feet long by 3 feet wide with a 28 inch height. Probably not a permentant home but should last a while

Thank you! I have been planning and learning a lot about wood working to make this happen! Hardest part was making the wood frame for the glass I ordered. I am not very good with a router took a few attempts haha

After a long process the new enclosure is finally built. On top of my wood working skills not at a pro level was in the process of buying a house. Pretty proud of it! Had to build it modular so it could be transported into room and then assembled like legos in a sense. 5 foot by 3 foot is the...

Great looking redfoots! How do they interact with each other? I have really wanted to start a group I only have one right now.

Welcome! Beautiful Indian star, I have wanted one or a radiated for a while now. I’m newer as well. Tons of knowledge here

hey guys need some ideas! I am finishing up a new closed chamber enclosure for my redfoot tortoise. I have an idea sorted out for my CHE with my thermostat but can’t seem to find anything to mount my 18 inch uv bulb to the top on the inside. Any advice would be great. I was looking into the...

I tried the white vinegar mix with no real results. 50/50 mix? Tortise is shy as most yearlings are but doing well just would like to have a nice dark dry shell if possible. If not I’m not to worried

Thats what I thought but wanted to be sure thank you! Any advice on getting it off? Its not a big deal but if I can remove some of it I will without hurting my tort

Being a new setup not sure if you have the facts yet but what is the energy cost to run an amazing building like that to keep your torts happy and healthy?

Simply amazing! I was just talking about this to my very supportive wife about doing this in a few years. After my tortoise grows up and I get a few more. Perfect setup as I live in Wisconsin so they can only be outside for short time frames of the year. I saved a few pictures as examples/...

hey guys I have my lovely redfoot who is just a little over a year old. In the center of her scutes when her shell is dry has almost like hard water spots. New growth is nice and dark. She acts normall like a young tortoise does. In her hide, out every now and then to raise body temp, healthy...

I apologize about the late reply. Busy with the family. Cork wood would be much safer in my opinion! I hve a piece of cork wood my redfoot likes to walk around on. I am having a wall about 7 inches high where the glass door will be. My hope is even though she will be able to see out the wall...

Seems like a great start! I am in the process of building a new enclosure myself. Have you thought about going closed chamber? This would making heating the enclosure much easier if you have a CHE on a thermostat and can keep a constant temp without losing much out the top. The tub should be...
