OK thanks guys! I'll get something bigger VERY soon. I like the idea with the two storage bins connected together. I appreciate the concern you've shown for the little guys and I will be happy when your happy that their happy :)
I'll make sure to post pics ASAP to see if it's an improvement. Thank you.

Btw, you could also do what I did (seeing as I was space challenged, but not vertically challenged) is build a multi tier unit. Just don't make it too steep, pad the walkway with something that they wont slip, and that their nails wont get caught in, and lastly, make rails so that they don't fall off.

YAY A NEW ENCLOSURE!!!!!! Hello! I just got a concrete mixing tub that's 25'' by 35''. I know it's not that big but it is much better than that other tank.
I will hopefully be getting another tub to add on to this one. Someone commented about the substrate, so now It's half dirt :)

Should it be humid at all in there?

It's good the UVB light is no longer on that screen, which probably only passed a fraction of the UVB. I personally like putting them in the same spot as the basking light so the torts are getting UVB when they think they are in the sun, but as long as they hang out under it, its ok

Cool. I'm glad you like it... one of the tortoises just pooped that white stuff. He is the first one to do that, I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad about that fact.
Anything that I should change? Do you think I need it to be bigger?


Oh! One more thing, When I get my own tortoise, I do want to have a multi-story enclosure :)

Bigger is always better. As the saying goes, go big or go home.
