New indoor enclosure

[Maggy]

I recently upgraded my little Hermanns tortoise to a new enclosure! It measures 5×2.5 so when he gets bigger he'll need something else. Let me know what you guys think!

Oh wow, is that made from a crib? That’s super cool!!!

 

[Salspi]

Funny it’s a crib!

 

[Maggy]

It is a crib! I don't have the space or tools to actually build something so I thought this would be the easiest way to do it!

 

[Salspi]

I think it’s a cool idea. I would run 2x4’s along the bottom floor of the crib. Just in case it rips through that plastic and falls to the floor..... unless the crib already has that feature.

I put a piece of plywood down at the bottom to make sure it didn't fall otherwise it definitely would have

Super smart idea!! How will you cover it to trap heat and humidity?

Sorry, what I mean is around the sides. Can it rip through the plastic liner and then fall to the floor? Or is there a barrier there?

Oh no it's a very strong tarp that I have around the sides so it won't rip through

It all stays pretty warm since its summer where I live. I used to have a thing over his old cage that kept in the humidity but since moving the overall temp is around 75f and basking around 90f and the humidity stays up in the 70-75 range all by itself

That was a great idea, I love your ingenuity.
