Outdoor enclosure for hermanns hatchling

[spud's_mum]

Hi guys, I'm going to make my little spud an outdoor enclosure. It's only for nice days. He will only be in it from morning to early evening. Ideally I would like it to have a bottom so I can move it about to keep him in the sun. Do you guys have any suggestions? Pictures are also welcome! So are plant suggestions thanks!

I've seen some hatchling enclosures in rigid plastic kiddy pools/sandpits - and big indoor rabbit hutches. Those can be put on wheeled stands and moved around

I'm doing one in a large cement mixing tub. I should have it done tomorrow. I'll post a pic.

I have one for my box turtle in a large rubbermaid container for which I build a lid so that nothing can get in. The enclosure is a bit small though, but for a hatchling it might be a good size just to catch those uvb rays
