I'm finally done my tortoises home.
Thank you for everyone's help and patience with my many questions.
Hope you like what I built. Still open to suggestions. For those of you that don't know I will be getting a western hermann's tortoise at the end of August.
Hope this list helps others on: How to build an indoor tortoise enclosure.
