I am getting a Hermann's tortoise soon and had built an enclosure that I found has too many issues to really be useful (major issue is size). So I'm trying to start making plans for a new enclosure that will meet all the needs of my tortoise. I only have a 5.5'x4' space to work with in my house, so I'm thinking a two level enclosure is the only way to go. I found the picture while browsing for ideas, but I am curious if it could actually work. How would the lighting be best set up? Should I have a basking area on both levels or just one and leave the other "floor" cool? Would the tortoise actually use both floors or does this make the enclosure too cramped for him/her?
I've considered making just a 4'x2.5' top level, but I'm afraid that would leave too much of a dark area underneath.
Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
