New closed enclosure

[Jeff 619]

Hello all,

I am going to start to build my closed chamber 3' by 4' enclosure and was curious if any one housed 2 leopards in the same enclosure with a divider down the middle.
thanks

It's good that you want to separate them but cutting that size in half would be very small for a tortoise

I was trying to stay away from building 2 enclosures.

Make it 3X8 or even 6 to divide into at least 3X3 for each. It will be too small by the time they are a year or so though. Really glad you are providing separate spaces for them.

Look up the "Twin Enclosure". @Zamric has Gaia and Eros, 2 leopard torts and they lived in a divided chamber.

It was a good build and lasted a little over 2 years till they out grew it!

Well, for Pete's sake! Where the heck ya been? you must still at least lurk because you caught the alert. Good to see you here again.

Thanks everyone!
Zamtic thanks for some good ideas.
I have been meaning to a little upgrade to an additional on the side of my house for years now. Please excuse the mess on the ceiling It's next.
It will give me 7X9' to play with.
The main closed enclosure will go inside somewhere.

Well, this space of yours is a little different from a freestanding table. Check Out this "Other" twin enclosure I did after they outgrew the Table... it also lasted about 2 years and they now have a Garden Condo...(yet another build...)

I am quite busy of late..... we are getting ready to move from Dallas TX to Indio Ca in July. I still lurk on occations and I catch all the Alerts I can. Some subjects tho, I just have to pipe up on....Like my builds! and of course all things Vita-Shell!

[Jeff 619]

Very slick design. Can you show more pics?

Also, do you have all the temps and humidity pegged?

Very nice work.

Wow! What a lucky and spoiled tort lol. Looks great

The room is set, now time to decorate!!

Will you add plants and rocks or little logs? Sight barriers make the tortoise(s) want to navigate their territory.

I vote that you make it look like a patch of the great outdoors instead of an empty prison cell

 

[Jeff 619]

Putting in some native weeds and some grasses little by little. more pictures to come

 

[Levi the Leopard]

Very nice!!

 

[Stuart S.]

That looks great!!
