So I'm upgrading my 4.5 yr old box turtles enclosure. I had him in a 40 gal. rubbermaid tub.
My brother just built his new house and had an extra kitchen cabinet that was the perfect dimensions!
I gave him a ramp with a second story (still need to attach a little lip like the ramp has so he won't try and climb over). And plenty of space to crawl around on the bottom.
For substrate I use organic topsoil and coco coir with some spaghnum moss mixed in. I plan on lining the box so I won't have an issue with the water warping the wood when I spray it for the humidity.
His basking and eating area will be on the second level with pieces of slate to eat off/warm his belly.
He has a hide that's normally for large rodents (rats, guinea pigs...) but I cut it so he can have 2 entrances to get inside.
Temps and humidity are great in his current enclosure.
Any other suggestions what I should put in?
*more pics when I finally have everything set up*
(Fyi, not much of a plant person. I can never keep them alive)
