Box turtle
New Member
Hello Everyone,
I recently moved from Hawaii to Minnesota and brought my two "3 toed box turtles" with me. In Hawaii they were kept outside in an enclosure that was 4'x 2' that I built myself ( it didn't look great- but it worked)
However, now that they have to stay inside in Minnesota I have to keep them in a "decent looking" enclosure inside the house (per wife.
We really liked the size and looks of the Pen- Plax tortoise palace and its not too pricey on amazon now (~$189). The other enclosures that are for sale are too small for me. I read a lot of mixed reviews about Tortoise palace some were real good and some were real bad.
I know I can be build an enclosure for much cheaper, even though I am pretty "handy,", I wouldn't be able to match the look of the Pen- Plax tortoise palace without spending a ton of time and possibly money.
I am wondering if anyone has used the tortoise palace personally and how was your experience and if you did any modifications ?
Or if anyone has any suggestions for a pre made box turtle enclosure that it is at least 4'x 2' that looks "good" inside a house?
