I can see reference to this old thread, but the link doesn't work: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread-75652.html

Is there a designated FAQ for "this is what a closed chamber is, means and how to make one?" Lots of the other faqs refer to them but I haven't seen a "how to make one" like tom's night box thread.

Does one exist?

Yes, good question! A simple explanation of what is a "closed chamber" would be great if it does not already exist maybe within another care sheet. Some people may think of a closed chamber as something that will suffocate the tortoise, like a sealed container, and just not even consider it.

Here is a thread on how to build them:
https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/building-your-own-expanded-pvc-enclosed-chamber-–-for-beginners.159220/

BUT... Its cheaper and MUCH easier to simply buy one that is already built unless you are going to buy a truckload of the materials to build a lot of them, which would get you the huge volume discounts that the people who build them for a living get.

My tortoise partner lives in the San Diego area and he has been able to find good deals on craigslist.com. He loaned me four Vision Cages that he bought for cheap that way:
