Please Tell me if this idea for an indoor Enclosure will work?

Very nice Carol! It looks like that worked out very well. That’s plenty of room for a few babies. I am very interested to see how the baby does in the high humidity environment. Please keep us updated. Again, nice job!

Thank you Dan. And will do. So far she is doing quite well in the high humidty. She has been in a high humid environment (closed enclosure) since the 11 December. This one is just a better and bigger one.

Found an old cage, so have nailed the left over plastic border that I used in the inside enclosure to the bottom edges and have put it outside for Baby to roam outside for her UV light.
Lets see if you can spot the tort. [emoji6] 20180121_155349.jpg20180121_155412.jpg20180121_155501.jpg20180121_155402.jpg

Tweeked Baby's indoor enclosure today. Also weighed her and she has picked up 10g since the 16th of Jan. Today she weighed 78g. She is finally starting to pick up weight again. Have been giving her much more varied diet. Mustard greens. Endive. Dandelion. Catsear. Grass. Cactus (although she is not very fond of it) succulents and also some exo terra juvenile forest food pellets. Baby spinach occasionally. Reptile vitamin. Calcium powder. Ganzia. Hibiscus leaves and flowers. Spider plant (also not too fond of this one) Raddichio.
So the tweeks I made to her indoor enclosure was to put a fine bark substrate I found at a pet store ( yes I know you probably pay more for it but I have not been able to find it anywhere else) anyway I put it on top of the wet substrate so that she is on dry ground but still has a humid enclosure as the coco peat substrate under it is quite moist. Also added another daylight in the 6500k range and added a 100w CHE. I also added another digital thermometer/hygrometer20180123_203719.jpg20180123_234744.jpg20180123_203746.jpg
