Yes. I'm watching a space program and brain storming enclosures that can be assembled with a screwdriver by someone with no skills so people can have an affordable option available, that also looks nice in the home.
I guess I could qualify as someone lacking skills to build an enclosure. How can you brainstorm and watch a space program?

Different parts of the brain. One part analytical, one part art free form thinking.
So, when you get this project completed, are you going to put it on the forum for all to see?

I'm thinking of 2'x2'x4'. Any bigger and I think shipping costs would be prohibitive.
I've got my prototype but I used very expensive plywood for it construction. The pancakes will be the ultimate prototype with a thermopane double glass window for the front. I want to be able to keep costs at around $225.00 or so. The window itself is over $100.00!

Oh, I see. You're constructing parts that can be.put together by beginners who don't know how or what to build for.their baby gotta. That a great idea. I wish you did this a year and a half ago when I needed something like that for my sullies. Happy building. I'm going to call it a night. I'm getting sleepy. Good night and I'll speak to you tomorrow.

Look up DeanS's lasagna. All my torts love it and you can change It up if you need to.
I was up all night with Rand becayse he had a ridiculously high fever. It finally broke around 4 this morning.
I'm so tired
Good Morning!
Good Morning!
Morning back to you Erin!
Ken I had thought about an enclosure like that, but the shipping seems to be the bad point. I even thought about making them and going to reptile shows to sell them.

I'm thinking shipping unassembled. Predrilled, I couldn't do the wiring from what I understand because of insurance. Over the last 12 hrs., the cool side of the enclosure was 82.9-84.6. I'm liking that stability.
Mrs.C., I'm sorry the boy is still laid up. For you, I was hopping he'd be better last night.

brrrr cold fingers! Just came back in from feeding the outside cats. I had gotten use to wearing my tshirt out there to do them and today that made for a nippy cold time. I think the fingers got it from picking up out of the snow, the feed dishes to clean out and fill. Chi puppy was smart, he stayed in the house. Ahhh a very warm black kitty(Case) just came to let me warm my fingers on him.

Hi Everybody!
Yvonne, Ava has been such a good girl lately in the evening do to the wonderful weather we've been having during the day. She's been outside running hard, chasing birds and overall just wearing herself out.
Now it's back to off and on showers and that wonderful wet dog smell.

Misty isn't outside unless I'm outside. We've been having really nice weather and supposed to be in the 80's all week. She loves being out in front cuz there's lots to do out there. Today I'm going to try to get motivated and mow the tortoise pastures. She'll love that! But when I come inside, she has to come in too because I KNOW she'll eat a turtle if she finds one.
Ava sounds just like Misty - trouble!!

Ava would love to find a tortoise that didn't have a hot line running on the top of the containment walls.

We are having one made but now our dilemma is where top put it. Our torts are very social and we enjoy interacting with them but the kitchen is not big enough.
We've got our main livingroom with TV and couches. Then we have, like a sitting room, and if I don't call it the reptile room, that's where the indoor enclosures are kept. Karen is good about it because I try to keep it presentable.
A while back, I had a trio of RES (red eared sliders) I was gifted with, come up with eggs. Trying to get them to lay any additional eggs, I gave them a tub with substrate rather then having them dropping them in their water. Well of course no eggs have happened and as a rule when I go by their tub I see something like this:
It's funny when all three have just their heads sticking out at me.

It's too bad they have such a bad name...that's just the cutest little face ever.
