Please post pictures of your enclosures. And can you give me any ideas on how to build a second floor?

I built an enclosure on top of an old dresser. 6' long 3 1/2' wide. The second floor {ramp} really adds a lot. "Oakley" goes up and down several times a day. I have 6 different areas where I put her food, 2 are up top of the ramp. I covered the ply wood with indoor/outdoor carpet, and bought the 7 inch high fence at a hobby store.

Don't know if this will come through or not, but here is a video of Oakley going up the ramp.

You do have a very big enclosure, based on the pics on your other thread.
Work on the liner (pond liner, shower pan liner-found at home supply stores-, a heavy duty shower curtain).
Add some coir or even organic topsoil, to the substrate, especially around your basking area.

Once that's done, then you can think about second story ideas.
For that, you can try searching 'two level enclosures', 'second story enclosures', etc. in the search box of this forum.

Looking at your enclosure it's quite similar to my new one. All you need to do is get a block of wood and cut it to the size you want and insert it at one end on the enclosure. You then build it a litter ramp again out of wood. Stick some kind of rubber surface to the ramp for added grip. I used a bath bath and cut it to size and glued it on. If you need any more help on how I built mine just let me know. You could also get some really good ideas from YouTube.
