Well I had to add some enclosures to one of my buildings. Ive been on baby overload, and still waiting for some to hatch. As well as added a few elongated torts. The top two pens are 3x3 for the hatchlings. And the bottom enclosed pen is 6x3x3. I out a hole to the left as you can see in the photo for a mister unit to keep it super humid. Once the silicone dries on the glass It will be ready for occupants.

Not too bad for 200 bucks and a couple days of labor.

It started at 85% and when I out the mulch and pine needles in then stabilized at 79%. Super muggy in there, but they are lovin it. Im gonna get a repti fogger at the NARBC show in a few weeks see how those work. Its pretty tight cage though, i unsulated the walls and siliconed the corners. the only gap is the sliding glass door.
