Alright, it might be a boy. He's a little too dirty to tell right now, but we've seen in the past that it looks like his tail is a couple of inches long and goes to the left.
With that being the case, should I build the doorway 16x26 now? I'd like to not have to rebuild this box for the next...
I'm absolutely guessing at her gender based on one video on youtube. I'll add some photos of her undersides in case that helps at all.
Is a 4x4x2 enclosure large enough for a 130 pound adult male? Or should I plan to have a larger enclosure for them? I really have no idea what to even...
Our tortoise (I think a female) is 10"x15" and exactly 20 pounds. I'm in the middle of making her a 4'x4'x2' night enclosure and was curious as to the recommended size of the doorway for this type of enclosure and tortoise.
I don't know how fast she's going to grow nor what really is the...
Thanks for all the help. I've got all the electrical parts and have next week scheduled to build the box. I just have one final question for now...
On the 4x4x2 box design, is it recommended to use 2x4's for the bottom (non-lid portion) or can you get away with smaller lumber (and still have...
Do you think it's possible for me to get by with just the 700-watt mini oil heater? Or do you think I'll need the 18x28 heat mat and 80-watt RHP as well?
My thought - knowing nothing - is that on really windy days (even with the vinyl flaps), that the mini oil heater will not be able to...
Thank you for this information.
Unfortunately, to me, it now feels like I'll need all 3. It seems like the heat mat and the RHP are great for windy days where the door is down and the box has a hard time maintaining heat. The mini oil heater seems like it would work great overnight when the...
I'm getting ready to make all my purchases, but I wanted to ask you about this. Do you think there's enough room in a 4x4x2 box for a mini radiant oil heater? If so, would that alone be sufficient or would I still need a combination of the other heaters?
If I can get away with just the one...
Yeah it is.
The inside dimensions of the box I had built are 28" x 41". I built it smaller than the provided example because we didn't have a lot of space for the box (irrigation, landscaping, walls, etc.). I also had a heat mat that was closer to 18x18 initially so the size worked a little...
I didn't save my edit quickly enough, but this was meant to be in addition to the comment above:
Edit: I also want to mention that this setup is contrary to what Kane recommends. Speaking to them on the phone, the recommendation was to use a Kane Thermostat, set it to 80 degrees, and do not...
I built this night box, but smaller (with the dimensions I had listed in my post). I just don't have the space for a larger box right now. That's a longer project that I'll need months to complete.
First off, I'm going to apologize up front for asking all of these questions (and the wall of text). I know all of them have been answered and those answers are available if you search for them. Please know I've tried, but am struggling a bit just the same.
That being said, I have a 20 pound...
