What do you guys think?
Any opinions on what else i can do to make her more comfortable.

She doesn't stay there all night yet since its cold I prefer for her to be inside and because i need to make a hole for her heating lamp. I just move her there during the day.
First timer just trying my best.

Cool outdoor digs :D I think that the only adjustment that I would do straight away is to offer a cover...perhaps a piece of chicken wire with larger squares this way nothing will snatch up the tort from above ..

Very nice.

Just a tip, if you want..I like to add plants down the center or randomly in the middle of their space. Gives them stuff to walk around and breaks up the line of sight.

That looks great. I love the hiding place. So many babies end up on their back trying to climb up on those half logs. There will be no climbing for baby Izel on that hiding place!

How big do you guys think will be appropriate enough to let my Izel go outside to live in her outdoor inclosure?
I don't want to think its time but i may be wrong.

A few adjustments do have to be made so its not the finished product

Hi Marciel:

You can start by putting her out there on warm, sunny days and bringing her in at night. I wouldn't leave her outside until the weather is completely warm. But I'd still bring her in at night to keep her safe. The suggestion about wire over the top was a good one.
