Hi everyone. I feel like I only come here ever few months when I need help! Tuleo is doing great, still on the small size but his shell is nice (I think - please look, this photo was take today) so I try not to worry. It's time to re-do his indoor enclosure though. He will be 2 in July, his outdoor enclosure is great and he gets to roam in it whenever the weather is permitting. His indoor enclosure needs to be bigger though. I have decided I can build this myself (I have a rip saw and goggles, how hard can this be?) but I need to make it aesthetically pleasing as he lives in our living room and we are licensed foster parents so it has to look safe and "nice." I am thinking a basic box like oasis... maybe 3 feet wide by 12" high by 7 or 8 feet long. How does that sound? I was thinking about having the top hinged in two places and either one side having a Plexiglas top or both. He still needs his humidity, correct? His lights have always been outside his enclosure on the mesh - maybe having one area meshed off on top for the lights? Does this make any sense? Right now he has coco and dirt as a substrate. He loves to dig. Then his plants, etc. etc. How would I do that if I used wood? What type of wood is safe? Does anyone have any better ideas that are still aesthetically pleasing? I have done some searches but am really not coming up with consistent answers.
I appreciate any help you can give.
Dawn (& Tuleo!)
