Well, I am now on my third habitat in only a few weeks of caring for a Russian Tortoise. Due to ridiculous reasons I had to give back that pond liner tub I was given(lets just say, the mans' angry wife was supposedly going to use it, after it sat for close to a decade, ROFL. But his son is like family to me so no need to ruffle feathers).
I decided I was NOT going back to the under bed storage unit, I decided it was getting crazy to keep moving this guy and I put my work belt on.
Materials used,
4- 1x12x4
1- 4x4 15/32 plywood
2- 2x3x8
3 mil thick plastic painting drop cloth
1/2" arrow staples
2" dry wall screws
I am currently crafting up an attachment for the light to hang from, as I want it to be slightly further towards the middle.
About $58 and 4 hours later,
I now plan on building an 8x8 out door enclosure this spring for him, and with that I intend to change several things to this 4x4 inside enclosure. I want to stain it and seal it rather use this plastic drop cloth or pond liner and right now because of the weather and urgent home relocation the staining/sealing and sitting out to vent for a week will take too long.
This enclosure made him much more active as well, the past couple days he's walked for hours and crawled over everything, he seems very pleased.
