Built my first enclosure (2 levels)

[HenryG]

I don't see these kind of builds super often, but this is a 4x3, 2 level, Hermann's tortoise enclosure I finished yesterday. The total cost was about $100. Might give inspiration to someone who is thinking about a 2 level tortoise enclosure. The top level is latched on to the bottom so it lifts easily and the ramp is connected with a door hinge on the bottom of top level.

My Hermann's tortoise is around 5 years old. She is also about 6-7 inches.

All suggestions or critiques are welcomed.

That is dope. You did not have more space to make it bigger?

No more space. The biggest space was a 3x4. Because my Eastern Hermanns tortoise is only around 5, this enclosure fits her perfectly right now. Might need to upgrade in a few years or so. It also took her about 2 days to get used to the ramp, now she goes up and down all the time. (PS. I have to put grip/ anti-slip tape on the ramp, the wood was too slippery)

Understood. I'm getting ready to build a 3 level tort complex. Planning the design.
