Here's mine currently (I built my own hood for an aquarium)



The hood made a nice place to mount my UVB fixture and my CHE. Yes I know it's small but I already have a larger one mostly constructed following some of the ones I've seen posted here.



And we have a partially finished room that will eventually be converted but baby steps.

4x4 we made about 3 years ago. UVB strip is in there with 2 heat lamps for the winter, plus a Mistking sprinkler system

I am working on enclosing mine tomorrow. I worry all night that my little ones aren't warm or humid enough, so tomorrow I will MAKE time to enclose my babies homes!!!
I also bought pansies and some additional "hens and chicks" for their enclosure

Don't forget that many of the plants from nurseries are grown with chemicals, so you may want to wait before planting them directly in the tort enclosure. Or start some inside from seed. I will likely do that when I expand my indoor tort table.

My 2 closed chambers are set up for Leopards.

The hatchling leopard chamber:
Basking temp is 97F, a thermostat keeps temps above 80F even at night, RH averages 80-90%. I use a 60watt bulb for the basking. I use a 25watt bulb for additional lighting on the cool side. I have a 100watt CHE in the center plugged into a thermostat and a tube light to help with the live plants.

The juvenile leopard night chamber:
Basking spot is 95F, a thermostat keeps temps above 80F even at night, humidity averages 90-99%. I set this up about a month ago and have not had to add water ONCE since the initial moist coir was put in. A closed chamber really does keep that humidity in :D :D
I use a 60 watt bulb for basking and a 100watt CHE plugged into a thermostat.

Here is my high tech version of a closed chamber. If you look closely you can see the baby YF in the hiding place.
