I managed to get my hands on a used Vision enclosure (72"x36"x18") in trade for some russian hatchlings. I set it up for my red foot and have found that, even though the exterior dimensions are not much different than his old enclosure, the interior dimensions are a lot nicer. His old enclosure was 72"x30"x18", but those were the exterior dimensions. Due to the construction technique I used, it ended up actually being about 68"x26", which is nothing compared to the new actual interior dimensions of 72"x35" in the vision. I was worried the glass doors would cause a problem, but so far no bumping. I have two heat lamps in the recessed heat lamp spot, a fluorescent that I mounted inside the enclosure, and a heat pad on the back of his rubbermaid hiding bin. I'm thinking I might order a nice radiant heat panel for it.
He still always looks like he could use more room, but this thing was a steal and it is lightweight and STRONG.
Now I have his other enclosure taking up space. If anyone in upstate new york wants to come pick it up, it's yours. It is the dimensions I quoted above, constructed of plywood and dimensional lumber, with a top that has a recessed area for heat lamps (as well as a built in light inside), plexiglass windows on the top-opening door, and lined with fiber-reinforced plastic (so it will hold moist substrate no problem). Let me know if there's any takers.
