Beautiful little Ornates, love the color on the male. I have 3 Ornates, 12-three toed with eggs incubating, 1 Sulcata and 1 leopard. I keep my males and females separate in their own enclosures and my tortoises in their own.ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1435665486.629964.jpg

The back enclosure houses my female three-toed and the 2 sides house my male and female Ornates. My male three-toeds have another enclosure in a different area in the yard.

Looks nice. Seems it would get a little hot tho in direct sun. If you have space tho build a section the the left so they can exit the greenhouse. And on cooler days choose where they want to go. They make small fans that help blow the hot air out of the green house too, just ideas. The size is ok. But bigger is better if you can. Nice looking ornates too!
