Time to build squirt another larger enclosure. He is growing like the weeds he eats. We're going to build a 10' 6"x4' closed chamber pic's to come soon I've already started the build.[TURTLE][TURTLE][TURTLE]
Third enclosure in less than a year!
- Thread starter TFCO
- Start date
If squirt is a sully, you may want to rethink building another enclosure. How old is squirt, and how much does he weigh?
Waiting for pics...
While here the start of the build
My next build for him after this one will be his own outdoor heated 10x12 enclosure with a 50x75 foot run attach

Wow! This is a great indoor habitat! I just love all the space.
I have noticed that indoor and outdoor tortoise habitats are hard to stop upgrading, changing, making larger...
It's a never ending process!

Picked up two 250 watt CHE I hope it will heart things up for me. So hears the plan 110 basking with a 150 watt MVB and 80degrees every where else and I his dark room 75 degrees. Just wanted to see what you think.
Water proof with rv rubber roof paint
Insulation installed 1 1/2" thick

Man that looks awesome. Fantastic work!
I'd shoot more for 95-100 for the basking spot and I think a 160 watt is going to over heat your enclosure. Two 65 watt bulbs heat my 4x8x2' enclosure up to an ambient of 93 on a 70 degree day.
I also think the 250 watt CHEs might be a bit too much, but since they are on a thermostat, it should be fine, but man that is a lot of power to be burning.
Keep the updates coming. This is an awesome example of how to build a great enclosure.

I've really enjoyed building this enclosure I've put a lot of thought into this build. I'm not sure how long the enclosure will last seeing how big sulcata's can get so only time will tell but for now I have provided 43 sq ft of a enclosed enclosure for squirt! I'm leaning towards cypress substrate by zoo med with a mix of coco husk.
