Pool as indoor enclosure for my Sulcatas.

[russian]

Using a Step 2 kiddie pool as the indoor enclosure this year during the cold Omaha winters. This is a huge upgrade in SqFootage from the Rubbermaid bins I had been using. Pool is 6'x4'. My sulcatas are 5" and 4". Plenty of space for cool, hot and basking area. It too large to mist with a bottle sprayer, so my mister this year is a 2 gallon water can. More pics to come

Looks like it works out pretty well.

Looks like good idea. More space, less stress.

what are you going to do when they get bigger? bigger pool? I cant imagine housing mine inside.. at all..

That'll work. I've got one of those pools too. I use it for all sorts of stuff.

Also have a heated garage when the time comes.

Awesome pool enclosure, I've been searching for a rectangular kiddie pool for a temporary outside enclosure, it just doesn't appear anyone makes them anymore.

I think you will get some good use out of it...

I actually think its easier inside? You don't have to worry about predators or people?

I got mine off Craigslist. The guy even delivered it for me as you would need a truck because its so big.

I know folks that use that setup, works good!

I find them a lot on Craigslist...seems others have been holding onto them and decide to let them do for almost nothing.....HAPPY HUNTING!

I just did the exact same thing, on a temporary basis. I searched online for about 20 minutes to see if it was safe to house torts inside of plastic and to make sure the heat lamps would not melt the pool. Should have just searched the threads here first. Seeing that Tom and Austin approve, that makes us feel better about out temp. indoor enclosure.
The wonderful tort table with a build in hide box my hubby made was for a hatchling. It was large enough for the juveniles we have now, but just barely. He got materials for a much larger tort table to complete this weekend, but I grabbed a baby pool from the garage that I used for a volleyball team fundraiser at a local festival until the tort table was done. They love the added space so much that I hated to remove them. The 4 foot in diameter pool looks horrible sitting on a fancy card table in the rec room, but I don't care. It will work until it is warm enough to be outside. Hubby made two wood hide boxes for it, Babette does not like to share. Even if she isn't interested in the hide box, the minute Scarlet starts to walk towards it, she blocks her path and guards the opening. Will post pics later, going to add more dirt today so they can dig, dig, dig since the baby pool enclosure has two thumbs of from forum members
