Is this enclosure alright. It is slightly larger than the other one I said I was going to get. Here are some photos. ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1403722380.110481.jpgImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1403722393.770616.jpg

My 3 year old marginated. He weighs 211 grams and is quite small. I am not sure the exact length.

It's a large home for him, just going to have to figure out how to keep humidity in for him. But gives nice room to put a lot of plants in with space for the LED and his lights.

Yes. We are going to add a little bit at the side so he won't fall off. Do you think that he will fall down the ramp.

if it's a steep ramp i'd be more worried about if he'll even be able to use it

Is it to steep for him? I could carve some lines into it. But I don't know. What do you think?

It should not be to steep, just make sure there is great traction to it for his claws.

Yes. That was my plan. :). I don't know about the humidity. But I am sure I can work it out. :)

if he can get traction i wouldn't worry my only worry would be when he's coming down just make some kind of side for the ramp that way if he does slip he isn't going over

If the ramp looks steep for him with bad traction, you could always glue little pieces of sand paper on the ramp to help with traction, plus as a bonus, it will help keep nails trimmed.

Looks nice and big for him, like it will accommodate his adult growth! Hmmm... you could try a water absorbing substrate for the humidity, so it doesn't TOO dry in there for him.

Rather than carving into the ramp, glue "treads" or attach pebbles with silicon or glue.

You could cover the ramp in that material they use in cabinets to keep Tupper ware from sliding. I made ramps out of it and it was great... They like to poop on it though. Lol

Actually, I think they like to poop on everything. :)
