www.LLLReptile.com . We show you how to set up the Zoo Med Tortoise House and then show what the house can look like with basic decor for a Russian Tortoise too!
I am going to get a Russian Tortoise and I have researched a lot on it but can yall give me feedback on if I need a reptile heating pad and a heating light bulb or just the bulb? Thanks. Also what substate would I use...I am about to order the zoo med eco earth and reptile sand to mix together. Is that a good mixture (if no please tell me what type)
I've got an important question that is really perplexing to me - is it normal for a turtle to bury themselves in dirt? Should I do something about it? I heard him scratching through the dirt in his box and then burying his face in it. He's a small lil baby, I thought he would suffocate or something.
got me some western box turtles. i dun scooped them already, tryina make a indian rattle outta them like in that thar disney picture hocapontas. wouldn't know how to go about sealingem though, any knowhow?
There's a rule... The enclosure has to be 10 times the length of your tortoise (squared) example: a foot long tortoise would need a 10 foot, by 10 foot enclosure. 🙂 hope that helps... It depends on the size of your leopard tortoise
Cognizant Slave Adult Russian tortoises need a minimum of 8x4 feet. That is probably why. Please visit tortoiseforum.com or get the app, where they can give you lots of tips, and give you information as to how you can give your tortoise the happiest life he can get! There's also an app :)
Brayan Perez just build one honestly. or for a baby tegu a 30 - 50 gallon would be okay for a few months. and then you most likely have to build a custom one. i built one check it out on my channel if you want to. hope this helps
Do You Even Animal I'm pretty sure you can use it for some as long as they have the necessary heating and stuff. But if they need a lot of humidity it's better to get something else
Gelzea_ 08 no. An adult Russian tortoise needs a minimum area of 8x4 feet. Please visit tortoiseforum.com where they will give you a bunch tips. This forum is full of people that have been researching tortoises for years, and are very knowledgeable. There's also an app :)
A coat or two of outdoor acrylic paint (like from Michael's or Amazon, non-toxic when dry), then cover with plastic sheets like the other comment said.
Jackers Crackers .. box turtles need higher humidity than Tortoises, so outdoor enclosures with a shallow water pool or a very large tank of eco earth & a water supply of some sort :) and if course all the other things needed. Sorry just saw your comment and wanted to help, I just rescued a box turtle, he's on my channel 💗🐢
I agree with the others. Too small for a box turtle, and boxies need to soak often. They do best outside. A big plastic stock tank like a Rubbermaid 50 gal can work much better than the Zoo Med tortoise house.
Make this 3 times bigger and instead of wood use thick heavy plastic and then it would be even better
turtles and palstic are normaly not a good idea unelss its really scratchy
Carnidoom why is that?
@@kenjiro2676 some turtles dont know theres glass or clear palstic so they wodul try and try and try to get past it
@@Carnidoom how about not invisible plastic
Eco earth works great with Russian tortoises
Nice enclosure!
Is this hard to set up? Because I'm not good at building things...
Sam Trombly lol i would never succeed
I hear if you play home depot's them song you can finish it in 30 seconds.
Can I leave the top off the larger side if it's an indoor enclosure?
If your turtle/tortoise isn't able to get out you should be able to.

Wood doesnt last long as good thick plastic that can endure lots
plastic can easily break if you hit it with a hammer, wood is more natural
Kenneth Reyes wood is way better for the chelonian they can file their nails on it and they can smell it
GewfyBaken they can’t exactly file their nails on it but it is pretty good, but it can mold and stuff
In theory you can put plastic inside.

They like to burrow my box turtle covers himself up every day. He wont suffocate. Make sure to keep the substrate moist so he doesnt dry out too
oh well he died yesterday
Danny Säplers oh they loove to dig, abut your enclosure could be too hot, so just worry about that
Omg I did the same thing. Should have watched your video first.
Hi love ur vids
What happens when it rains? Is there a drainage hole on the bottom?
Hi. What kind of light and heat is needed for Indian star tortoise and what should be the voltage?
Could this be used for blue tongue skinks.
EthanDino52 ya you could it has the proper dimensions
EthanDino52 yep
got me some western box turtles. i dun scooped them already, tryina make a indian rattle outta them like in that thar disney picture hocapontas. wouldn't know how to go about sealingem though, any knowhow?
Do you know how big a sulcata tortoise hets
A 16 square foot enclosure for a Russian tortoise is ideal.
Can they lay eggs in this?
Can we use a drill
Bhavneet Saini yes you can that's what I did and it works quickly
Stupid question but the uv light or baskin light is only on for a few hours?
Use UVB light, and use it all day.
Can you provide a buy link to me ..please please
Does anyone know what substrate he used? If you could reply with a link that would be great.
This is Orchid Bark. Works great. You can find it on our site here: www.lllreptile.com/catalog/150-wood-chip-substrates
Use natural mulch with no chemicals that is made of a soft wood.
How long could I keep a leopard tortoise in there
luke Bean no

Will 2 of these be big enough for an adult Russian tortoise
Russians max out at about 8 inches. 2 would be enough space :)
I have the same question but for 1 Russian Tortoise
This is actually cool it would be great for my tortoise but I'm scared he will try climbing out and then he will fall on his back and die
They dont die if they are upside down it just restricts their breathing just be watchful when hes in there
What is the substrate you used ?
Orchid Bark
can you put a heat mat under this?
No
My russian incessantly scratched at the walls trying to get out.

TechnoCheese Adults need a minimum of 4x2 I thought
TechnoCheese cause I combined the 2 enclosures together for my adult make and he loves it
Can you put a redfoot tortoise in this?
A baby, yes, but an adult, NO! Adult need a large area to roam around, like an outside area.
Can this be good for my land turtle
What the fucks a, “ land turtle?” If you don’t know what your pet is, then you probably shouldn’t have one. By the way it’s a tortoise.
@@nathanielfrechette4370 its probably a joke you overexcited chihuahua chill your barking
person, why are you commenting now, that was 9 months ago. Also, someone by the name unicorn love probably wasn’t joking
Nathaniel Frechette He just said his land turtle. Yet you said what is it, so really, you don’t know it
just a question but would I be able to house a baby tegu in the tortoise house.
Brayan Perez it says for tortoises other wise if it was suitable for any other animal it would say best bet is getting a viv
Brayan Perez I think so for a small amount of time

nO
No u cant I got a rabbit and no u can't do that that's stupid
what happened to Allan...
He's around still. New people do videos all the time here! :)
LLLReptile and Supply Co, Inc. could you use it for some lizards
Do You Even Animal I'm pretty sure you can use it for some as long as they have the necessary heating and stuff. But if they need a lot of humidity it's better to get something else
Bruce Wayne not all lizard need lots of humitidy
Can a malayan box turtle live there?
Zero Two yes if you put the right things in
How much it cost
Leandro Karafili i saw some for as cheap as $89
Devan Greene, $89 not including a $30 tortoise, heat lamp, UVB lamp, substrate, and other essentials. Btw, nice grammar.

How well does this thing hold up with a moist substrate in it?
Gordon Family Forge you can use a moisture barrier,something like a trash bag works :)
A coat or two of outdoor acrylic paint (like from Michael's or Amazon, non-toxic when dry), then cover with plastic sheets like the other comment said.
Would this be good for an eastern box turtle?

No, not at all! Box turtles need a body of water unlike tortoises. www.diffen.com/difference/Tortoise_vs_Turtle
I agree with the others. Too small for a box turtle, and boxies need to soak often. They do best outside. A big plastic stock tank like a Rubbermaid 50 gal can work much better than the Zoo Med tortoise house.
