Large Plastic Container Idea- Container Store

[KL55413]

If you have a Container Store near you, this might be a good option. I will be using one temporarily while I build my own indoor enclosure. The only downside is that it is clear..

Link and Tub Dimmensions: 52-7/8" x 20-7/8" x 14-1/16" h

Just be sure it's not too low where the heating will be too close to your tort. The taller ones are better for that reason.

Good to remember. I will have to use some sort of stand or hang the light source. Is there a general rule for distances between UVB tubes, CHE's, and the tortoise?

I thought she was talking about after you have the substrate in it maybe the sides will be too low???

About the light distance, follow the recommendations on the bulb or fixture.

FWIW those are good for only one season outside (UV damage to plastic).

Thanks. This would be only a temporary indoor enclosure. I will move him into a different outside enclosure during the summer.

Maybe it will be.. 14" might not be enough. I love that it has such a long footprint, but I might need to either wait for a Christmas tree tote or put two of them together. Any other ideas for a two month solution?
