    Red Footed Tortoise Indoor Enclosure

    Hi Guys, This is my first post on here and I am pretty excited about this one. I am a CAD drafter by trade so doing this was fun for me to get started from design to well... the point I am at now. Unfortunately my progress is slow as building things in an apartment is frowned upon. I...
