I've posted before explaining how my Russian tort 'Nank is currently in a 20gal tank, and how I wanted to build a better enclosure to give him more space in the room I can. But school snuck up on me and in 2 weeks I'll be starting college again so I won't have building time for that. But I still want to get him the heck out of the tank! I know plastic totes/tubs are suggested over tanks anyways, and while I know it'll still be small but it'd be more than he currently has.
The under bed containers are like the perfect width for where his enclosure sits, but I know they're lower sides that a Russian could easily escape if determined enough, especially with the amount of soil i'd like to put in. Has anyone made make-shift sides or have suggestions? Also i'll need a cover as I have a cat, who's never shown interest in the tank but one wrong trust could be very bad!
suggestions or links to similar threads I couldn't find are appreciated and thanks in advance!
