After studying the advice on here, we built an indoor closed enclosure for our 3 Redfoot hatchlings.

We live in Florida, so they will only be in here for a year or 2 at the most. (We've already started planting their outdoor enclosure so the plants have time to mature).

It is 5'6" by 2'6". It cost about $150 in materials and took a day to build (plus drying time). It holds the temperature and humidity well, but as I said, we're in Florida, so even our room temps/humidity is high most of the time.

I work from home so I'm at my desk about 8-10 hours a day. I love having my little buddies next to me!

I can give more info on how I built it (and materials) if anyone is interested.

Mehh it is okay, cause I prefer Victorian style anitiques over Queen Anne to put my tortoise table on! ?
