closed chamber enclosure

Hello everyone, I have just finished building a closed chamber enclosure for my two year old Indian Star. Attached is a picture. The humidity is holding as needed, he seems to be enjoying it (especially the one corner), but I'm having issues with the heating. I didn't build the enclosure tall...

The new enclosure holds humidity maybe a bit too well (80-95%), so there's a lot of moisture collecting at the plastic cover that drips down into the soil and makes it wet. I try to turn the soil whenever I see that it's too moist, but today I noticed there's a lot of mold forming on the...

I recently built my 7 year old tort a new enclosure, L210xD80xH66cm and got him a new tub because he loves to soak. He was wary of it at first because the tub is black and he can't see the bottom, but now he spends more time in it than anywhere else. I'm worried because he'll often choose to...

Hey all so this is how my indoor closed chamber enclosure turned out. Please give me feed back!

Two Smart Tortoise Enclosures 48”x36”x30”

I ordered two, 4’ x 3’ Smart Tortoise Enclosures from @Markw84 and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Photos don’t do these justice. Highly recommended! My order varied slight from the standard with upgraded radiant heat panels and humidity control. Humidity is holding perfectly...

Hi there - as with nearly all my question on this forum, this is that of a chamber enclosure, but a radically different one. I’ve already ran Herb (4 yr Russian) through a double decker chamber enclosure for about a year (April 2020- a few days ago), so the question of whether or not he’ll climb...

Hi all, I’ve been avidly browsing this forum for a few weeks, this is my first post. I am getting an eight week old baby Greek Ibera in August from Chris Leone at gardenstate tortoises. It’s been a lifelong dream of mine to care for a tortoise so I am preparing everything for it to live well...

Hello, I'm researching/preparing to get my first Hermann's Tortoise. I'm looking for advice on an indoor enclosure. After doing much research, I'd like to go with the closed chamber/high humidity at least for the first year or so. I really want something that is aesthetically pleasing, as it...

My mom asked a good friend of hers if he could help us build the enclosure I drew for my red foot tortoise and he worked on it with a friend of his on their spare time and they REALLY pulled through!! Originally my sister and I would build it... imagine how that would turn out with no experience...

Hi all, Just got two Burmese star hatchlings that are 1 month old. This forum has helped me so much. Purchased a closed chamber enclosure from my local reptile store and it’s been working really well. Just wanted to say thanks all and let me know if have some tips or advice that’ll improve my...

Hello, I am new to this forum but I had a question I was hoping to get some advice on. I have seen a lot of indoor hatchling/juvenile tortoise enclosures with a ramp leading to a second level. I have a 1 year old leopard tortoise, and her indoor enclosure is a 40 gallon glass tank that I...

Here's a little splurge of an update; posting here as to be open to insights, criticisms, etc. Okay where to begin, Since day 1 my substrate has had some gnats, I'd kept calm as they're just gnats - but this weekend I decided IPM has to be addressed as I've approached my closed chamber with a...
