hi, before i get my tortoise im trying to decide and get ideas as to the best way to keep him indoors during bad weather. as i am not so good with tools and building stuff, i think that it would be a bad idea for me to try and make one meself lol!!
i was looking into a vivarium, but have been told about stress to them with the glass, however if i was to put the aquatic type backgrounds around three sides and a 4inch covering around the bottom would that be okay? with plants etc to hide in ?
the only other option i had was like a plastic storage box, although what i have been looking at so far arnt the biggest.
this will be for a russian tortoise too, and regarding humidity im not to sure , would there be much difference in a vivarium and a platic tub if there the same height on the sides ?
thanks a lot for your help!
