My new tortoise enclosure!

[Tiff]

I built it over the weekend. Inside dimensions are 28" wide x 6.8' long. I built it as big as I could with the space I am working with. Some of the panels are at the moment, I thought I would sure it with you guy's. I will work on the cosmetic part after later. I sealed the wood by using minwax wood finish, and the minwax helmsman's outdoor urethane. I left the word it's natural color to be able to spot mold growth. I'm going to mount light fixtures, one all in one and a strip uvb in each. I'm going to place Sovi my russian tortoise on the bottom because she needs a lot of substrate, and Cuda my greek tortoise on top.

All of the seams will be sealed using caulking made for bathrooms and kitchens.
