Terrarium for radiata tortoise

[jonckt]

Hi everyone,

I'm designing a place for my rad indoor. Anyone feel free to share their ideas or perhaps post photos of their terrarium in this topic for me to study on it?

I'm looking at around 4 to 5 feet * 2feet minimum.

Reply from members are very much appreciated.

Jonathan,

I use 8'x3'x2' enclosures with sliding glass doors. Mine are made with plastic not wood, you can use acrylic in place of glass but it will scratch easy but lighter. If built right you can also stack them, which makes enjoying them indoors easy. With an auto mister you wont ever have to hand mist them, and it will keep humidity and heat in well. The rads go nuts with a very fine misting, they love it. Good luck!

I am using this for some of them while they are indoor till about 4" .
After which they will be housed outdoor for the bulk of the time .

Cheers

I doubt Malaysia sell those products.... Basically products for reptiles and tortoise is limited in the Sabah Malaysia .

Btw what so special about that vivarium, it costs 1059 aud.....

Let me do some research on it first

Nothing special !! Just that you asked , i shared - beside stackable , unbreakable , easy to clean nothing good about it ( price wise especially )

A DYI or custom made fiberglass one will be way cheaper but the paint/dye used will come out in time ( into food maybe .... )


Cheers
