New tortoise enclosure

[oscar]

Building this for my hatchlings. Will post more pictures as progress continues.




























Next is to cut and put liner in. Using a rigid plastic. 1/4 in thick which looks like corrugated cardboard. Thinking of trying next time
Core plast which is used as backing for signs. But most small sign shops want to much for it.

Looks KILLER! What are the dimensions? What species are you going to be housing?

red foot hatchlings in it.

Are you planning on putting some sort of lid on this? I'm interested on how that would look.

Looks really good, can't wait to see more updates.

Yes it will have a top but will be last piece I make, I will have a CHE attached
to the top.

Last picture is what the plastic lining looks like. It is food grade approved. I have used it in other enclosures.

Wished you lived close to me, I would pay for a table like that! Cleanest table I've seen so far. Can't wait to see how you set it up.

So have made more progress on enclosure for red foots I have put styrofoam in the outside openings to help control the heat inside and also on the bottom. As of now using a 60w. CHE and temperature is holding at 80 degrees.












The top is made so it can be slid from side to side for maintenance or lifted
Off if needed.
