Indoor RF Enclosure

[mashedpotatoes]

So since Ive been stuck on the decision (sorry I didnt reply to the other thread) between a Rf and a sulcata, I was thinking of having a RF inside to make sure no one would still him/her.

How large should I make their enclosure? Does anyone have a picture of theres so I could get an idea?

Thank you!

I modeled mine after the tortoise table plans on Vicki Hale's website. www.tortoiseyard.com
The only things I did differently are 1) We didn't build the legs because we set it on a large dresser in our bedroom. 2) We covered about 75% of the length at the top with plexiglass to help bump up the humidity. Good luck!

This one look at a 3story enclosed with stairs. The bottom one is curently under construction for a new "hot tub" I'm trying to design and also it be the warm humid area he needs while te middle being the hot arid and the top just being a place where he gets a better look at the guests that come over. And where I put his food.

I also hav heated floors on middle level mostly one during winter months. To keep it down in size I made the bottom able to slide in and out to better clean and look at the boy as he soaks/drinks and to keep it in when people are over for him to hide

Hope I gave ya some good ideas. I actually have been making custom tables now for friends and people at work that are just getting into the world of Torti : )

The bigger, the better. A good exercise is to ask yourself, what is the largest possible enclosure that I can get away with?

I have examples in my signature below. TerryO has written up a very nice article on tortoiselibrary.com "Planting an Interesting Habitat" that may provide you further inspiration.
