With terra cotta pots you can saw them in half with a hacksaw, or cut them with a dremel. They still can break though. They aren't very expensive. I would just buy them and half bury them.
First, let me say that I don't think that it is a dumb question. Just some one looking for a good answer. I crossed this bridge once and found that a hack saw with a good blade, fine tooth, will work well. The result was two almost perfect halves. I must also say that I will never do this again. Find something else that will work. Those things come in plastic also.
A word of caution here ~ terracotta pots and even plastic pots to a lesser degree, can have extremely sharp edges once cut/kung-fu'd, etc, so don't forget to file or sand the edges and resultant corners. :razz:
I don't advocate using a whole pot with half of it buried for all species. Some are too big and will dig down to the 'other side' of the pot....and then what? Just a thought...
I've found that i get more enjoyment out of setting up an enclosure around an interesting piece of wood. It looks more natural and i get to be more creative.
