I have taken your guy's suggestions and made a few updates to my baby tortoises's enclosure! Here are the pictures, I added a humidifier so I don't have to constantly mist the cage down and it seems to be working very well! My little guy is a lot more active and I also built a cover for the cage and it retains the heat and moisture pretty well too! If you guys have anymore suggestions that would be great!20170515_134419.jpg20170515_134856.jpg20170515_134850.jpg20170515_134658.jpg

Looks great. One more suggestion for you....

Ditch that analog disk type gauge, they are inaccurate as all get out. You can get a digital one that measures both temps and humidity from home depot for $10.

This one is bass pro shop but it's the same gauge....... many places sell them


Yeah I know, not the specific topic, great clue on this device, thanks.

Back on Topic @Maggy some live plants are always a good idea. Spider plants, wandering Jew, Pothos, among a few that work well in a set up like this, are edible, and help maintain humidity as well. And well it just looks nice too.
