Does anyone here make and sell the heated night boxes?

[Renee_H]

I have someone in mind to build it for me, but I’m trying to get an idea of how much to expect to spend. I’m currently saving my Starbucks $ and drinking water like a big girl and trying to plan.

I’m not set on the builder so if we have an SoCal folk that build these I’d be curious to know price.

I’m also trying to talk myself into building it myself and I understand the approximate materials cost to do DIY. I just don’t have that much confidence in my ability given I have new patio furniture and a treadmill sitting in boxes just needing to be assembled and that feels overwhelming 🫣😅

@Tom has a thread I believe that spells out how to build it and materials needed.

My Best Night Box Design Yet

After much thought about what worked and what I wanted to improve over previous attempts, here is the latest version with a step by step pictorial on how I did it. It is time for my 2010 South African herd to move outside. They are moving into a 16x20' completely closed in enclosure. The...

The person that built my enclosure fence is up for the task. I’m still waiting on him to get back to me for a quote. I don’t plan on bringing home a tort until next spring so I have time. Just looking at all my options. Thank you!

Single Tortoise Night Box

I like my larger tortoises to live outside full time. My climate permits this year round with a little help. For people who live where it snows all winter, this type of box is still good for warmer weather, getting them out earlier in Spring, and keeping them out a bit later into fall. You'll...

Double Door Night Box

As the years have gone by and I build more of these boxes, I learn more and more each time. This one is the latest and I incorporated everything I've learned over the years. I also tried to take lots of pics so I can explain in more detail some of what is going on. It will take multiple posts to...

Here is the 4x8 rendering of Tom's Night Box. With Exploded view.

This is a rendering I did based off of @Tom 's heated night box enclosure. Its probably not a 100% accurate. Door is offset to one side for my personal needs but can easily be moved. Let me know if you see any issues with it. Feed back appreciated. High res renderings can be downloaded here...
