Who's enclosure is this?

[Sh3wulf]

Just wondering if anyone knows who's enclosure this was? I have some questions and I can't find the thread.

 

[jaizei]

Can you give me a ballpark idea of a time frame?

 

[Yvonne G]

There's no doubt in my mind that Jaizei will find it for you. Let's see how long it takes him.

No pressure.

They look like Showcase cages if that answers any of your questions.

I only wish I had that setup in my living room. My living room is huge though so I would love to have a super long one. So. Awesome.

You would be my hero if you could! I want to duplicate this, accept all for just my one tortoise so adding a ramp to the second floor. Tortoise condo!
Anyhow, I want to find out about the sliding doors, interior sealant that sort of stuff.
I scrolled through a ton of posts in this section clicking on anything that didn't say outdoor. should have subscribed

If they are Showcase cages, then they are expensive (they look like the 60" which are $800+ each plus shipping). It will probably also be a lot harder than you'd think to make a ramp because of the way they are designed. If you look here, you can see that the top isn't completely flat and has spaces for lights.

It would probably be a lot cheaper (and easier) to make one out of wood. If you go that route, here is a guide to making your own sliding glass doors.

Tim/Robin also use them extensively, here's one of their setups.

I use A LOT of them. In my opinion, they are second to NONE!!!! They cannot be destroyed!! They are very easy to clean. It makes setting up micro environment very easy. I have some humid loving tortoises sitting right next to my Egyptians!!!! They also stack very nicely!! I raise all of my hatchlings in the small size. Very easy to regulate a constant temp. I also use the small size for any sick or animal I am concerned about. Here is a glimpse!!!

I went looking and couldn't find it, but I have it stuck in my head that this person owns two red foots and two yellow foots...

Found it! Kellychipoos. On the rf /yf species specific section, called making new enclosures need advice.

Definitely Show Case Cages. We use them for Redfoot youngsters.
I can't see cutting into one without seriously damaging the whole thing. They are really well made.

You can find them for sale cheaper at reptile shows. I know Repticon in Houston and Dallas are always has a rep selling these. I am not sure if it is cash and carry or just order to ship, but I have on many occasions, almost bought a few. the only thing that stopped me is how fast my guys will out-grow even the largest one. I have Sulcatas and Leopards.

 

[Sh3wulf]

Started the build of the new enclosure. Here is where it is so far. Benny will have a ton of surface space.

I can't take any credit. My buddy is doing all the work. I am just bankrolling the project. He's very detail oriented, and has been researching for months. Can't wait to show you the finished product

I LOVE that cave on the lower floor! Wish my tort had one of those!

Still going, but the table is gorgeous. Picture doesn't do it justice. It's huge! I can't wait to start setting it up.

Hinges installed on the light box
