We have a new member @Master_Roshi and he was looking for a closed chamber enclosure so he could take proper care of his torts. It just so happens we both live in Houston and I happen to have an old one in my garage almost the exact size he was looking for so I told him he could just have it, lol.

He already swapped his coil uvb for a MVB but I didn't like the black light he was using for night heat so I gave him one of my extra Che's. He's a high school kid just starting out so I hooked him up with one of my spare zilla thermostats, a timer for his MVB and a brand new digital heat/humidity gauge. Filled him full of useful knowledge and sent him on his way. Now I feel better knowing his torts have a sound set up.

It's a decent size. The box portion is 4' wide 2' deep and 2' tall and the entire thing is about 3'-6" tall with the legs.

So very nice of you. Cute little enclosure. I like the legs too. Another tort(s) will be housed correctly because you helped out. Very proud of you.

I built that enclosure out of stuff I had laying around. Those legs are off an old coffee table. The only thing I had to buy when I built that were screws and the trim pieces on the corners and around the plexiglass

You win the tortoise forum for the day!

Best thread I've read all day.
I told him to go study your care sheets to a T. To let us all know if he had questions but you were "the guy" when it comes to sully's

Lol. I literally slapped that together in an afternoon with scraps. I've spent days working on enclosures and not had them come out as good as that one did.
