Hello.
Heres Athenas enclosure. Its based on reinforced journal table. Also theres some wood, glass and acrylic sheets involved.
Technical data-
Size - 3,3x2feet, best i can do for now.
Lightning - 125w MVB ,12h cycle
Heat - 100w ceramic heater, 13h cycle
Humidity - exo-terra monsoon multi, 3 nozzles misting once per hour for 15sec
Basking spot temp 98F-102F, cool end around 75F
Humidity 70-80 percent overall with some drops to 60 on basking rock for short periods of time.

Theres a mix of live plants and artificial ones. Green carpet is red and white clover, its the second lawn in this enclosure. Wile experimenting with misting system i burned down the first one.
She have hides - hot shaded one under the rock in corner, the big cave which is made like a ground floor with reinforced seelings creating a little underworld for her and cave under the basking rock she dug up herself. Couldnt get the picture cause of position.

Misting system allows to keep good air exchange, so theres no mold or anything so far. I am also thinking of putting in some isopods and springtails to recycle the dead parts of plants.

For those who think it might be a bit overwhelming, shes way more active with uneven landscape. With just coco coir field her only actions was moving in straight line from food to basking spot. I tried to make as much walking space that would be interesting for her as i could. In the end the waking space is bigger than original journal table.
As for flipping over hazard - she like to jump down the bridge time to time and almost always end up on her back. It takes average of 3 minutes to get back on her feet. In case theres no rock nearby to push down, the clover field helps a lot, so im not worried about her dying on her back wile im not home.

The little rubber critters crawling from corner is a fail fix, i was working late and got a bit hasty and broke the glass by pushing on it to hard, so now theres some snakes and bugs covering the crack.

Guess thats it, feel free to criticize.
