Sulcata Indoor Enclosure

[stevie t]

Hi,

It is coming to the time I am having to increase the size of my Sulcatas "house". I'm thinking Of a two story tortoise table or an outdoor enclosure. I do live in Scotland so it's definitely not the warmest climate.

Anyone got any deals or know a good tortoise table maker?

Here's a couple of pictures of my tortoise current enclosure.....

Cheers
Stevie

I know someone who converted a standard garden shed into an insulated house.
She paint all the shed 1st, then put insulation board between the vertical lats everywhere on the inside, then boarded it with chipboard and painted. She then heated the floor with some sort of pig or horse mat. If your interested in doing that I can get in touch with the lady to see how she heated it up.
Personally I would use a different heat source.
See what others say, I just thought it was a good idea to use a cheap shed, maybe even get a 2nd hand one off gummy.
