Look at the pop up pools on Amazon, I was considering that,Hi everyone,
This forum is so so helpful, so many wonderful people here.
TLDR: ideas for indoor enclosure/setting up a room *semi-temporarily* hopefully will move houses in 4-5 years. Currently living in Northeastern US
anyway I need to come up with a creative solution. I was going to buy an animal plastics enclosure or an even more awesome one from Mark, or make one similar to Sterant, but I'm realizing reading in here that I need something *much* bigger (the breeder at the reptile show did not express how much room a little tortoise needs )
I've searched on here but I feel like I could read forever and never make a decision...I need a little hand holding I think
Please hit me with your best ideas... I'll have a budget of about $500-800 and it would be great to have something that can be (easily-ish)moved to another house. I am somewhat "handy" but don't have any tools.
I'm thinking our basement/"bonus" room might be best space wise, but it's carpeted.
I think I've read 64sqft of space is minimum?
Had anyone done anything like I mention before, or is there a better idea?
Could I put covered plastic tubs connected with some type of tube? Would need 8-9 storage tubs. Cons: large footprint:can't stack them, would need multiple heat sources?
Or do similar with a folding kiddie pool, cut the sides to attach to a heated tub or enclosure (is it ok to have such a large uncovered space? What temp would I need to keep the room at?)
Pool is 87" (7.25') diameter= about 41sqft so it'd need additional 23ft2 (this would be 3 tubs, or a 3x7 enclosure.
Thanks for any help and ideas. You all rock
