Custom built tortoise enclosure

[ConnorRichards03]

Currently cleaning out this enclosure I made a few years ago. 93cm by 93cm base and 48cm tall with slightly outwards slanted walls to prevent him from falling backwards if he decides to climb the walls. The base is made to hold 3 inches of soil/wood chips so he can burrow. Used to be filled with plants and it looked lovely. Any tips or improvements would be nice and just wondering what people think it would be worth with the price of enclosures nowadays.

At 93x93cm its too small for anything but a baby, but its too open for a baby to be able to maintain the correct heat and humidity. It sure looks cool, but this is just not a good design for a tortoise, much like almost all of the pre-made tortoise enclosures sold in stores. Wrong size for an adult, too open for a baby.
