Making a new enclosure.

[abra]

I think Rambo need more room so I'm going to ask my step dad to make the little guy a wooden enclosure. Do you think this will be enough room for him: 50" x 16"? I measured my dresser to be 56" x 19" then I took off a bit so it would fit good and I'd still have room for my tiny TV I'm going to look through the enclosure section for people's enclosure ideas, links would be nice and any suggestions, THANKS!

Oh! And I almost forgot, how deep should it be?

if its just for Rambo that sounds like plenty of room, for depth you will want to make sure you can have atleast 3-4 inches of substrate so that he can dig plus enough so that he can't climb out, I keep my Sophie in an enclosure with about 12" of depth. One other idea that you could do is have it hang off of the dress on one side a little bit and at that point make the enclosure a little deeper so that you can put more substrate in that area for him to burrow a little deeper.

Abra, keep us updated on how it goes.

My plan this winter - after I finish remodeling the kitchen - is to turn the basement into a tort room. I already have a gigantic teak bookshelf picked out for reconstruction, but I'm still looking for efficient and creative ideas.

Okay, I will, and that sounds cool. I want a tort room when I get my own house when I'm an adult
