I was tired of building tortoise houses from the ground up, so I went out looking for something I can modify. I found a small dresser that was going to be perfect and it cost $20. All the other supplies were left over from other builds.

I forgot to take photo's of every step I did but I did take a couple.

The top hole is so I can access the lights.

I have a thing for green so I had to paint it.

Here are my two redfoots inside sleep. The light is not on because the insulation keep it pretty warm in there when the sun is out.

I also expanded the area they will be living at for now, it's just over 3 feet wide but its 32 feet long.

I still have to do a better roof but since it doesn't leak there is no rush.

Thanks Jacob.

I'm hoping to get at least one year of use out of it before I need to make something bigger...

Very cool...I too am fond of the green :D

If I can figure out how to paint like JD then thats what I would do...:p

Amen to that! I think it is more than functional, very nice. And your torts approve.

Yes they approve and I only had to put them inside once, after that they went in and out on there own...
