So, I have a nice-sized juvenile Burmese mtn. tortoise. I was thinking about building a tortoise cage, but I now find myself perplexed???

How would someone build a tortoise cage for a tropical species that can provide high humdity without an open top that lets humdity evaporate quickly? In other words, how do you build a tortoise table for a humdity loving species???

I was thinking about getting a large Vision tortoise tub from Bush herpetoligical supply...but, it seems their website is no longer up at: www.bushherp.com???

Even if I build a "pen" in the future...wood is not an ideal material to build the structure of a said "pen". In everyone's experience, what works for humidity-loving tortsoises and are there any ideas and/or suppliers that sell large tubs made of tough plastic or any other good material???

I appreciate everyone's help/tips/comments/advice. Thanks!
