For a russian. It's much more sophisticated than mine, makes me wonder if it's better.

I've heard that the wood warps easily and it looks kinda small, even for a permanent home for a russian... if it's just an overnight or "bad weather" enclosure, I could see it working fine but I would want something a little bit bigger.

That's what I was worried about. It seemed a bit small. Shucks. If only I could build.

There have to be places that sell costum built tortoise tables... and if not I'm sure you could find a handy aquaintance or friend of a friend that would be willing to throw something together for you for a few bucks... me, I'm more inclined to just throw my guy in a baby pool (one of those really big ones )

On the plus side, if you are willing to get two, the zoo med one apparently has a way of hooking two together to make an even bigger one, which would probably be enough space

There are places.. It's just a million dollars. I'm a college student... No money. But I did "make" a table. It's just pretty crappy. I mean it works but I want something I can keep for a long time. Something that doesn't look so terrible. And the pool is a good idea but she has to be inside especially this winter. And if I can attach two.. That might be really nice. Are you certain about that or just a hear say thing?

"The Tortoise House is easy to assemble. Its modular design allows you to remove the end panel and join two Tortoise Houses to double the amount of space for you pet."

That was on the link you provided in your OP, I'm not pretending to have had that knowledge before clicking on it

I have the zoo med tortoise house. You can attach two together. The only gripe I have with it is it's just not very waterproof. It's kinda flimsy if your going to be moving it alot but mine is set on a table.

I built some of my own with heavier wood and smaller hard cloth. (I would really recommend using a smaller gauge wire over the grate part. It's way too big.) I only use mine far hatchlings though. It's too small for most of my adult tortoises.
