thanks! its 6'6 x 3'2. this will be my last upgrade as my apartment can't hold any larger enclosure. im looking for long term, so i have to make sure the wood will last. well, thats the info i gathered from the other enclosures. hope i have not missed out anything.

Pretty tortoise. I don't know anything about that species except they are beautiful. You could probably make that hide half the size and give your tortoise more room to walk around. And I always suggest more plants. I happen to like plants. It is a nice size enclosure.

thanks for the suggestions! will the plants survive? the enclosure is near the window but there's no direct sunlight.

My plants survive indoors under the UVB light. You can also have plants in pots and just rotate them through once in a while.
