I think this is what you need. You'll have to find a local seller, though.

I was going to post the same, my other thought (less expensive) was get 3 or 4 of the same kiddie pool and leave them stacked together (making the walls that much thicker and more rigid) he'd still probably destroy it though! lol

Can you get that kind of thing in Canada?

Maybe not that specific brand but look for "water trough" "feed trough" "calf sled" "stock tank" etc at Agricultural Supply Stores and websites. Try Kijiji too. I actually rescued a Tuff Stuff 110 Gallon that someone had put out for the garbage. Score! http://www.tufftubs.com/htdocs/plinoval.htm

Sorry for the off topic D. But maybe something like that would work for you? I think the Calf Sleds come as shallow as 8 inches depending on the manufacturer.

Good Luck!

still my favorite idea. When Andi is big enough I'll be making this for her. Of course it might go a bit deeper.

Several kiddie pools will be a hard sell with my wife...

Hahaha...

Raise your hand if you love sulcatas. {Raising my hand now}

Raising my hand also!

I love how in the last pic he looks like he is smiling, lol! He is thinking " hahaha change the water human!"

He will come out of his burrow to see what I'm doing and if he's not interested he turns around flicks some dirt my way and head back down into his burrow...Makes me smile when he does it..

You can go to a feed store and purchase one of the heavy duty round plastic water/feeders...you can then take a saw and cut the height down to fit the height of your "water lilly" there (LOL) and sink it a little into the ground...then dig a trench leading to somewhere the water can go to when you change out the water (you can change it out old school way, just drop the hose in it and let it run for 15 -20 mins and it will change out majority of dirty water for clean)...good luck

ps, he does look like he is mocking you ....LMAO, great stuff...

We have to find something that doesn't have any give to it, I may have to consider the trench depending on the ground. our yard doesn't drain well because he has compacted the dirt so much..

I like that Fernando, but were trying to hold off as long as we can before considering a concrete type pool..

This is what I built 2x4s and a piece of roof rubber.If you want it deeper or more shallow you could use different size lumber,and any type of rubber or plastic that would hold water and hold up to a tortoise going in and out. Its easy to clean, just tip it up and rinse with the hose, then fill it again. Len

Looks like a very viable option, thanks Len

I knew I had a picture of him inside the large mixing tub which we eventually used for our hatching enclosure.
