Do you have measurements for this?House will have a che with a thermostat. Would you trust it enough to close the door? Was thinking of either leaving it open or using another thermostat as backup.

20L x 12W x 26TDo you have measurements for this?
I think for the houses most people put the mini oil filled radiator style heaters and/or the wall panel heaters20L x 12W x 26T
It will be in the backyard 20x6 once temps are correct. This will be for him to sleep and warm up whenever he wants. Not an enclosure.
He’s around 4 inches or soWhat is your tortoise's size?
Other than the size being too small for an adult Redfoot to be able to turn around in, this design would work here in south Florida. But it'll need to be insulated in Maryland. And probably have an actual door.
House has a door and insulated with a metal roof. Inside the roof there’s a bulb receptacle with a temp sensor/thermostat.

The door should only be closed at night. If the thermostat failed, where would she have to go but outside where it's colder and possibly wet?

My fear is that my tortoise will have no where to go if that thermostat fails with a closed door. I’m gonna use a second thermostat as a fail safeView attachment 367286View attachment 367287
Yes.@ZEROPILOT at 4 inches shouldn't the tortoise still be in a closed chamber until much bigger?
I know leopards and Sulcatas shouldn't be outside 24/7 until at least 10 inches.
