Building a Brand New Enclosure

[tortoisemonger889]

I am building a brand new cage for my Greek Tort hatchling now! I found that my Cyprus mulch does not hold moisture well so I ordered repti bark and am planning on growing a few varieties of plants, I'm looking for some kind of tree (for visual appeal) and some kind of ground plant that could possibly be eaten.. Any suggestions? Also I am building the cage to be 10" tall and more of a tortoise table to allow the heat source and UVB to be closer to the ground. I'm also looking to add a shallow corner "pond" to allow for a larger water source... Any suggestions as to how I should go about that?

A roller paint tray would work well. Put it in the corner and it even has it's own natural "beach entry" into the pond
