Enclosed Cage

Has anyone bought one of these from New Egg?
The listing has 0 reviews and no size specifications, so I don't know if it would be a good enclosure for hatchling torts, or if it's far too small.
I have contacted New Egg, but they were unable to give me any information.

Price is good, but knowing the size is a must.

Seems pretty sketchy to me. It doesn't even give the size. You might end up paying 100 bucks for something the size of a shoebox.

Yeah, I know there's a minimum for tort children, and I'd hate to buy this only to find it's far too small and useless to me.

This is what I thought might be possible too.

New Egg is a very reliable company in the world of computer parts, but I've not known them to sell reptile supplies before now. I can only guess that they're made of the same type of thing as computer casings, and maybe made by a company they already work with that sells casings? I don't know, it's hard to tell.

Seems like a good option if the 48" wasn't out of stock, the screen top was covered, and the lights were all mounted inside.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Even the 48 is a little small for my liking though as I prefer to do a 5ft by 2ft minimum, even for hatchlings. I still might pick one up eventually to try it out though. But I think it would be far better without the screen top.
