I was thinking of designs for my sulcata's enclosure. I do not need to use a closed chamber as I can keep the whole room at a good ambient temperature and humidity. At first, I was thinking about building a plywood table that is 8' x 8'. If I did that, I would the spend the most money on plywood, silicone, and water-based polyurethane. What if I used a thick pond liner with a 2x4x8 frame? Has anyone done this before? I think it would save a lot of money, be more pliable, and I would not have to worry about it ever leaking or molding. Obviously that enclosure would not last longer than a year or so for a sulcata. That brings up the point of why build something so solid if it needs tossed out a year later? I would love to hear everyones' thoughts and experiences! (The tortoise is about 4 inches)
I wanted to make the enclosure large as it will not have daily outside time in the winter.
