Hey yaw,

Im building a 48 square foot box turtle outdoor enclosure. Can i use treated wood? I know its probably bad, but since its an outdoor cage, i figured it wouldnt hurt. just want to make sure.

secondly,
can yaw post some pics of your outdoor cages, so i can get a better idea of what i need to do?

Thanks so much,
Andrew

treated lumber isn't recomended as it can leach into the soil and contaminate the whole environment, I'd post pics but I have to build a new one..
