hi all! i just put together this enclosure for my redfoot tortoise so they can enjoy the weather outside! my main concern right now is that it won't be enough to protect from predators. would it be safe to leave my tortoise in this enclosure overnight? am I overthinking it? (btw i live in very south florida so temperature isn't too much of a concern and I have an indoor enclosure as well that I can easily keep her in instead! any advice on this would be much appreciated :))

Those are no good by themselves. For babies you need a closed enclosure and those are too small even for small adult Russian tortoises...

And a racoon would get through that pretty easily. Not sure what kind of predators you have there, though... @ZEROPILOT could advise...
