Enclosure is:
* 40 Critter Cage Gallon Breeder tank (same as in the care sheet, I've been using it since before this forum existed LOL) Note: I removed the sliding screen to take pictures. She DOES have a cover on the tank.
* 8 quarts Cypress mulch (This mulch is Zoo Med Forest Floor but you can get mulch much cheaper from Lowes, the Home Depot, or Wal-mart.---stay away from the special colored mulch) $7.99 at Petco - $2 or $3 for a much larger size at hardware stores
* 1 square ft. slate tile for basking - The Home Depot for less than $2. The sell them for use as samples.
* The Hide was given to me by Ray Gurgui. It's basically 3 inches by just under 18 inches. I believe it comes from carpeting tubing? I forget exactly LOL. You can buy PVC piping from The Home Depot for $7 or less that is 4 inches by 2 ft.
* The water dish is from Exo Terra (PT2802 Water Dish Medium). I could have gone much cheaper but I saw it at Repticon with a matching food dish. $6
* Exo Terra Medium Feeding Dish (PT2812) $8 (not pictured in enclosure)
* Zoo Med Dome light/stand - I forget the cost. I moved to a stand system because the screen was getting older and I didn't want a dome sitting directly on the screen anymore for safety reasons. I forget the wattage of the bulb as I've been changing them around trying to get the best temps.

[for those interested: All of the glass tanks pictured are 20 gallons, there is one large mixing tub and one medium tub - future baby tortoise homes (both available at the Home Depot)]
