Looks nice, but the plastic will make it too hot under it, so keep a close eye on that. Also, you need to provide shade that is not under the plastic.


Also needs a water dish and a few plants would make your tort more comfortable.

Thanks,

I went with plastic to get the extra heat, since I live in such a cold country. I will keep an eye on the temps as you suggest. Water and 2 plants have been added too (I took the first pictures as soon as the enclosure was put together, but before I had a chance to put the finishing touches to it.)
