New two tub enclosure finally done! Looking for feedback.

[Korall]

I've made a few posts regarding this enclosure but now it's finally done! Any feedback is appreciated.











It was a bit hard to get clear pictures of this enclosure but basically, it has two rooms with a tunnel between.

One "cool" room (82-86F) which has two hiding spots, a water dish and a food dish.

The other room, the warm room (83-95F), has a few plants, a humidifier and a basking spot.

The coolest area in the enclosure is the cave witch is around 76-78F

The warmest area is the basking spot witch is between 92-96F.

By the way, it's for a bells hingeback (Kinixys belliana belliana)

I like the dual tub design. Very nice light rack you have on the table. I just finished building a one for my new lights.

Thanks!
The lighting fixtures are just some bent metal rods bound together and the uv florescent tube holders are stuck directly onto the enclosure roof, it works great.

Oh wow! I really like it! You've done a bang up job. I'm going to add "two tub enclosure" to the title so it will be easier to find in a 'search' later on.

Looks great, creative way to get more space!

Thanks!
And a good thing about it is that if he needs more space I can just drill a hole and add another tub

I think I've found a problem with it...
He can see his reflection in the walls and I think he is trying to attack his reflection :/



The problem is that the reflection is on the inside of the enclosure so the material on the outside doesn't help.

I really like this enclosure.
He may just be testing the boundaries of his new home.
Hopefully, he'll get used to it soon.

Looks good. I'd put some mulch/substrate on the connecting tunnel floor too. Make it look and feel all the same.

Yeah, I might put some moss and/or bark in the tunnel. Probably not any dirt though as the tunnel can't handle too much moisture.

I hope so too, otherwise il just have to put something on the inside too, maybe a little fence.

How is the enclosure working out? Did he stop trying to attack his reflection?

I just saw this thread. Love the setup... I ramped the dirt up the sides of my tank so the only time they saw their reflection was when they were right up against the glass.

Wow I love the setup! Creativity at its best! Would this idea work for other tortoises? I have a baby sulcata I'd love to do this for

Actually it would. Baby sulcatas need high humidity and heat above 80(at all times).
