Hey [emoji16] a few weeks ago someone asked for indoor enclosure ideas and I think it was @TechnoCheese if I remember correctly who responded with the Growtent
idea.

Since that i was so intrested in trying it out myself so i bought one! As some of u know I used a plastic greenhouse as my enclosure before but the zippers on it broke so I had to do something anyway.

So here it is almost finished just need to install my uvb tube tomorrow.

Uvb tube now also installed [emoji106]
Littlefoot is really enjoying his new setup
I'm impressed how good it holds the heat and humidity[emoji16]View attachment 278257 View attachment 278258

Preparing one for my red foot this winter. Do you partially cover the big opening up front, or does it keep good heat and humidity with the flap wide open?

Sorry for late answer didn't saw it.
U have to have it completely closed of if u want the high humidity and heat to stay in.
I open it only during times where it's time to maintain it. Like for changing water, giving food, soakings, cleaning.
I also open it a few times a day but not completely just a little bit to check on my tortoise if everything is alright. So far I have not experienced any negative aspects of my setup [emoji846]

Works great!
We had recently some really cold nights here in Germany 44f outside and the roomtemp at night drops to 66f.
I'm heating the whole tent with a 100w ceramic heat emitter at night and get 86f.
Its definitely great at holding the heat in.
Humidity stays at 85-93% during the day and 100% at night.

But the most important thing was to cover the walls of the tent and the floor with stones and hard wood. My sulcata is currently in the "I want to dig tunnels" phase...
u got some time left before ur little guy will get to this destroy phase oh and btw i really enjoy ur posts about ur little guy [emoji16]

Just wondering how you think one of these would hold up if you laid it down so the zipper was at the top. Think it would work that way?
