Well just got this on Craig's for 40 bucks, it's 6x2 foot. And it replaced my 4x2.5 foot table. I just got it last night still have lots of work to do. Soil love plants water dish, cover he sides have these small fans I want to put in there to pull air in and suck air out. But should be a nice winter home. In the picture you can see them, i just put them on there real quick. More pictures to come!

Great deal! I found one for 65. I have an aquarium back ground on mine and Tyrone loves to just stare at it.

Nice I got an 8x2 off Craigslist for 50 just recently :) it's like one of those pet store types. I stored it in my back yard and it got hit by a golf ball. Sad but at least now I can expand it to an 8x8x2 enclosure so it's all good :)

Nice setup. How old is your tort, and big is he? Will he get a lot of use of this enclosure? Don't forget to get a temp/humidity gauge to put in the enclosure.

Very nice! I'm jealous... I found one that was 8'x2' but I couldn't organize a truck for that day, and the next day it was gone. We're having a nice big tort table built by our cabinetmaker friend. It's going to replace our large-but-ugly tort table. :)

Ooooh, and very clever using a painting dish for a water bath! I might have to copy that idea...

Yeah it's the bigger painters dish thing, use to use them for box turtles all the time they work great. I put an extra little filter on it just to make noise and keep the water moving, they also seem to enjoy it haha
