Hey guys! I finally got to put Todd (my russian) in his new indoor enclosure yesterday. Just wanted to share pictures :) I still have to put chicken wire on a small part so I can add a strip UVB light and one more heat lamp!

Cool.
A few suggestions if I may?
1)Cap the corners with triangular wooden caps. This way the tort won't climb out. (I see the fence:))
2)safety wire or zip tie the clamp lights. Those clamps like to fail and this will give you some safety net so that the lamps don't fall into the enclosure.
And 3) Check that the lamp housings are rated for the wattage of those lights. Normally (But not always) the housings for heat lamps are made of ceramic, not plastic.

I think he is just saying to cut little triangles to sit in the corners. Russians are magical when it comes to climbing. The triangles create a lip in the corner to stop them from climbing out.
