    Russian Tortoise ( Enclosure from Portugal )

    First of all thank you for the appreciation :) I miss understood... Are you talking about the plant on the "upper floor" of the enclosure? Cause that is protected by plastic so it doesn't soak the wood... The UV light is gonna be under the glass :) Thanks for the suggestions, take care. :D

    Enclosure made in Portugal... :D
