Hi everyone!
Okay, so I bought a tortoise just a week ago, i currently have it sent up in a pond tub, 48"x28" with an open top.
I have asked my hubby if he would build me something that is closed in and bigger! I am worried because the humidity has not been the highest that it should be.
Questions then:
What have people used for their homemade enclosures so that the wood doesn't be moldy or stain? Do you place something on the wood or can you use like a blue tarp then put the substrate ontop of that?
How many vent holes?
Would the location of the lights (i have a heat light and a T8 24" UVB light), be better inside the enclosure or have a hole in the top which the light can fit it?
Any ideas/suggestions?
