Hi
I have a 3 y/o, 10#, 14” leopard tortoise.
He has been in a closed chamber enclosure, which is now too small for him.
His current enclosure has HO UVB bulbs, radiant heaters and orchid bark as his substrate.
I live just out Chicago, so he is outside during the summer, but needs to be inside in the winter.
So…I need to create a new indoor enclosure for him.
Can he be in an open topped enclosure full time or should he be in his closed chamber at night?
I am looking for suggestions on how to create a proper indoor enclosure for him.
He will be taking over a room in my house, so any suggestions on how to make it tortoise appropriate space is very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
