Haven't been able to download pictures into an album, so I'm going to try posting them here. We found a Russian Tortoise several months ago. We were unable to locate his family, so we have been reading as much as we could for ideas about habitats and daily care. This is what we built (and by we, I mean my husband, lol)

Looks lovely! Do you think your husband could build one for me? :D

That certainly looks better than most.
You're able to keep the temps up in an enclosure that's that open?

We had to cluster a heat lamp, and two light bulbs at one end in order to create a warm area for him. I'm thinking of hanging one more over the center of the box to create a warm, but slightly less warm area. The rocky end is the coolest. We turn everything off at night. Room temp doesn't go below 67 at night.
