Thank you for your visit and reply.

You are 100% correct, I'm so glad that I found this forum have so much information, suggestion that I can use. It is not money can buy.

I build a Tortoise table for him, it measured 19" X 72 ". When I build in April, It was a open top table, I have two CHE on each end of table and a 36" ZOOMED T5 HO UVB light tube suspended 15 inch above the table. This will be the one on the right of below photo.


I just built a "cap" for all the table, because my electrical bill is went through the roof last month, I need to make those open Tortoise table become a "closed" table/enclosure to save some money.

See the photo I took this morning.



This other two, one is for 4 little Leopard Tortoise.

One on the bottom are for two Radiated Tortoise.


All three tables now consider "close chamber", I put a clear plastic curtain in the front of the "Cap", so this cap will not obstruct the view of them.

I like the idea of having a closed chamber. Have you ever thought about adding more substrate, I believe along with your closed chamber setup, some damp substrate and correct temps your torts will be very pleased.

This is Toms thread on how to raise healthy sulcatas, i think you might find it very informative… How To Raise A Healthy Sulcata I can tell you care a lot about your tortoises.

 

[bouaboua]

Yes. Thank you for your suggestion and the link of the thread that Tom wrote. I did read through that thread and that is what influenced me to modify my enclosures.

I have a humidifier that supplied warm mist into all three enclosures. The current humidity are between 70~80%. I have been use coco coil before but my wife complained she smell some odor and she said some fly and small bugs are came out of the substrates. So we only place a small cookie pen and place wet cypress mulches in it.

We do enjoy our tortoises.
