Looking to build a redfoot enclosure. Everybody post pictures of yours along with pictures of your tortoises!
What age tortoises are you looking at?
What’s the material used on the enclosure and are you worried about warping?
It's 19mm plastic all round then sealed all around edges. I wanted to build one but I'd just moved into first house and didn't have time or space to let it air out and trying to find something to make wood 100% waterproof and safe for tort is proving difficult. If it doesn't last then will have to think off something else.What’s the material used on the enclosure and are you worried about warping?
It's a beautiful enclosure, I was looking at the boa snake enclosures made out of pvc but heard they warp. Right now I am using a Xmas tree storage bin. An outdoor enclosure wouldn't be safe right now. The weather is too wonky here.It's 19mm plastic all round then sealed all around edges.

So far so good but it's only been 4ish months, I could depend on build quality, this Viv seems pretty strong, the back is 19mm plastic and a support at the front half way across seems to be doing well. Whear about do you live? I got no chance in England having them outside.It's a beautiful enclosure, I was looking at the boa snake enclosures made out of pvc but heard they warp.

I am actually in Pennsylvania, USA. The area where I live isn’t safe for outside pets. My tort is small so keeping her/him indoors for now keeps my anxiety levels down.So far so good but it's only been 4ish months, I could depend on build quality, this Viv seems pretty strong, the back is 19mm plastic and a support at the front half way across seems to be doing well.
