night box

Hi, I'm planning on making a permanent (or semi-permanent) outdoor enclosure for my 1yr8month old Hermann's tortoise and need some advice/guidance on what to do if anyone would be willing? I've looked at some other threads on outdoor enclosures but they all seem to be on adult torts but not...

Hi there, I'm looking to create a heated box for my sulcata using a large rubbermaid hinged lid shed. I am trying to find a few links with instructions or photos but am having a hard time. Is there anyone out there who can share a link or two? Thanks! Rebecca

Good morning TFO, My redfoot, Darwin, is racing towards the 100g mark, and winter is closing in ... a winter mix of rain and sleet and snow is falling on the spot I put him out for a few hours on the last tropical day this September, but I'm thinking ahead to next summer. The day I put him out...

My husband and I just built a night box based on Tom's designs posted on this forum (many thanks, Tom!). I was building for maximum insulation, but my husband is worried that Shelly, our 50 pound sulcata, will suffocate at night when it is all closed up. It is 4 x 4 x 2, insulated and sealed...
