Indoor enclosure

[RonHays]

Heres what we use at night for the baby sulcata Blake.





This is with it open during the day.





This is when it's "sealed up" to trap the heat and moisture.





The daylight hot side basking area. Using a heat lamp on one side, and a nighttime dark bulb that stays on when the basking light is turned off at night. We dont have to use the basking light much except during the winter and bad stormy days.





And this is the warm, dark, humid side that he sleeps in at night.

I know not much of a craftsman, but this table works perfectly for me. I use a cut to fit tarp as a liner to keep the wood underneath from mold and mildew and rot.

Thanks y'all. This fall I'm making another indoor enclosure and I hope to make some improvements over this one. The principle idea is to keep the torts happy and healthy and so far it's paying off on my redfoots. I just hope and pray I do everything right with the baby Sulcata. This forum is the best place on the Internet for info on torts. Thanks guys and gals.

As long as the sun is out he's outside I'm his outdoor enclosure. He's getting a soaking right now before he comes in for the night. We only have him inside at night or if it's storming outside.

This is his outside enclosure without the screen over it.

Thanks for posting this! I thought you said you placed towels over the open part? Maybe I am wrong.

 

[RonHays]

Look at pic #2. The towels are over the metal screen covers in the middle.

I see it. It's so nicely laid down that I couldn't tell. I was also distracted by the turtle decorations.

Yes I love my turtle decorations. Running out of room for them. But I always love when my family finds something unique to give me when they are on vacation.
