Ok, I did get mine at Wal-Mart but I found the name on the box it is
Iris Holiday tree storage box. "Iris" is the brand name. It is 52 7/8 x 20 7/8 x 14 1/8, they are sort of clear with a red top.
I did a quick search and found them on the net up to $42.00 - but I am sure they are out there for less.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info! Looks like I have to get on the ball and find some. Might have 2 female russians coming!

In this area ,E.Iowa/W.Illinois, they on sale this week at both Walmart & K-mart for $10-$12 each. I'm checking out this afternoon.

That is soooooo.......frustrating! I cannot find any anywhere around here. Wish you were closer, I would ask you to get me a couple!

Everyone tells me you shouldn't have glass aquariums for your torts (which is why i chose not to get one). But how are they different from a Rubbermaid box? Is it because they are plastic they don't store the heat? Or they are just bigger than most aquariums?
It's just something that I have been wondering...

First of all they're much cheaper. The opaque plastic seems to give torts more security. The square footage is larger with the right type (long and low), which why everyone is looking for christmas storage boxes. The one thing do with mine is make a cover of 1"x 1" lumber and 1" chicken wire to keep unwanted guests out (I have three dogs and 4 cats) and use the lid that comes with them to control humidity.

You are right. The glass does hold the heat a bit much and does not allow the best air circulation. And of course you want to allow as much space as possible. Plus it stresses torts too much if they can see out. They then make it their mission to try to get out and end up going no where. Stressful!

Thanks for the replies! I'm just trying to learn as much as possible about my tortoise. It's starting to feel like everything stresses them out lol

Oh one more question! What do you guys thingk of vision cages? are they just as bad as aquariums? or is the reason no one here seems to have them cause they are RIDICULOUS expensive?

I am not familiar with vision cages. But if they are super expensive, there is no need to do that when you can keep the cost of your enclosure very reasonable.
