Yes, she was doing alot of munching and marching earlier 😊. Thank you, I'm very happy with how it turned out!

She's currently napping in her hidey hole! Here's a photo of the exterior. I used several coats of a non toxic garden wood sealant.

Not at all, please do 😀 let me know it it'd be helpful to take/send more pics of it

Thank you! I did help, LOL 😆 Yes, we got new substrate on Thursday and put it in on Friday and it had rained so was pretty wet. I'm thinking it'll drop some once it dries out more. Charlie seems to be happy with it!

Hi All, We finally finished the DIY closed chamber enclosure, the holidays and weather made this project go on alot longer than anticipated. The humidity is at 99%, ambient temp sitting at 80 ( I have 2 temp/humidity gauges on opposite sides of the enclosure and the CHE is hooked up to a...

Gotcha, we are in the process of putting it together now. Still haven't decided on the access point, either something up top and seal it the best we can our a side door. Anything is better than what we are using now and gives Charlie 3 times the space so it'll work for the next several months...

Yes they did, thanks for checking 🙂

Perfect, I'll look for one of those brands!

That one is super nice, however we have no plans of getting another tortoise so not worth the money for us. Definitely putting something cost efficient together for temporary until she's outside full time. Will infest in the heated night box and a good/safe enclosure. I'll check the wattage on...

Is this thermostat any good?

That's my goal, make last longer enough until she's fully in her outdoor enclosure. Definitely want to put my money into her permanent enclosure versus a temporary so really wanting to use materials I have on hand (I mean every DIY project warrants a trip to the hardware store so I'm prepared...

Thank you, I really love the L-shape enclosure. I'm not a fan of the greenhouse inspired ones as they are not visually pleasing and the enclosure will be in a main living area in my home. I've seen where someone built an enclosure using wood and added a pond liner to the interior and then sealed...

Hi All, My hubby and I will be building a new/larger indoor enclosure for Charlie (sulcata). I have been attempting to explain what a closed chamber is and what we need to build it but I must admit I'm terrible at explaining things. Does anyone have any building plans or any visuals of what...

Wow, never would've thought a simple question would have such a complex answer LOL. Thank you for this, a very interesting read and definitely provides a better understanding!
