Cheep inside enclosure. / with pic

sd2fast4u Nov 02, 2005 07:45 PM

This is a picture of the inside enclosure that I built for very cheep using items from Lowes. I got the (2) 300w heat lamp reflectors and a Day bulb and a Night bulb for around $30.00! It would be alot more than that from a pet store! The 2x2's I salvaged from a construction site dumpster, and the baby pool I got from toys-r-us for around $12.00. The Bermuda Hay came from a feed store $4.00 a bail. I the sulcatas outside during the day if the sun is shining bright and bring them in at night. I keep it around 70-75 in the house, So I wonder if I should leave the night heat lamp on or not? I just wante dto share the picture in case anyone was looking for a cheep in door enclosure!

OOOoooh thanks for posting that photo!
All of my box turtles are rescues, I have only one who's able to spend the winter outside this year. The rest have their various problems & even though I'd planned to allow 2 of the 4 who are inside to stay out this winter, their vet ordered me to keep those 2 inside this winter.
Your photo really helps me on ideas for getting them set up in a larger container so that they can have more room in the house!
Thanks a lot!
