Frank, and any others, this would be an interior application. Spare bedroom more than likly. This is also not one of those large 8'x8' sheds. More like 5'wx6'lx4.5'h the one I have my eye on has a sliding top as well as a full acess front door. I just seen this one in a home depot flier, but have been considering the shed "dealies" for some. There is alot of potential there, I think. Has anyone else considered using these?? Thanx, Clint

It sounds like with the RIGHT modifications it could work. I'd suggest once you make those mods you get youself a couple of min/max digital thermometers as well as a rheostat and monitor the temps daily. You can use aLMOST anything of proper demensions that holds heat without getting too hot and allows you to keep a variation of different temps for thermoregulation. I'd also suggest you use dirt as substrate to allow burrowing. I use 2' of a playsand topsoil mix with excellent results.

I have all the mechanicals already, as well as an abundance of good soil. Which "jaws" my argus makes good use of. I've had my eye on those for a while, and to me they seem feasable was just wondering if any one else as tried them or not. Thanx for the input. Clint
