Need enclosure advice

[mel262011]

I need some advice. I want to build an enclosure for my 2 RF torts, but I don't know where to start. They are currently in a 40 gallon tank. Should I use a kiddie pool or a cabinet? I have everything, like the uvb light, basking, etc. Any advice would be great. Thanks! Also, my torts are about 4" long right now.

There are different ways of building an enclosure. I m not sure I can help, not being a red-foot specialist. But you must define what kind of enclosure you want. Firslty is it indoor or outdoor? Do you want something quite easy to build or you don't mind spending hours building the thing so it looks better? something inexpensive or not?

You can search this forum for RF enclosures...there are quite a few RF caregivers here....

For young Redfoots, a "cabinet" style or aquarium is going to be you best option for keeping the humidity up.

How handy are you?

First what space do you have available for this enclosure? I personally would go with a two story one, if I could. Double the space for them and less actual footage in your home taken up.

the main reason I need to build one is because I need to seperate them. One is ramming and biting the other one over the heat lamp. Anyways, it will be indoors because I live in an apartment. They are in a 40 gallon turtle tank. I need something bigger. I was thinking cabinet style.
