We're finally on to our Russian enclosure upgrades! Here's is the thread for Steve's first enclosure my husband and I built (after Steve lived in that dreadful glass tank): http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/steves-new-enclosure-the-first-one-ive-built.80648/ We have since re-painted his bedroom (yes, Steve's bedroom) from a light yellow to bright green and blue.
Right now we're building a frame of 2-by-4s that will support the tortoise table. For the table itself, we're planning on using a VOC-free plywood base and maybe the same material for the walls as well. The inside corners of the table will be patched with fiberglass, and—although it's expensive—we're hoping to use Pond Armor to coat the inside of the table. I always prefer the healthiest options for my little tort assuming I can cover the fee! Once we get the supporting frame together, I can start taking some photos for the thread.
Feel free to share any comments/suggestions you have with these materials. Thanks in advance!
