I finally did something right!

For the past month, my russian tortoise, Clarice has been inactive and would have to be woken up. I know it's because the enclosure is too small (4x2) but there isn't much I can do until next spring. So I took out the second floor, planted a jade plant in the center of the enclosure, put the water dish in a corner, the basking spot in another, then a hide on the far end, and it is working great! She wakes herself up twice a day now! I know this sounds weird but it's unusual for me. I'm just so ecstatic.

You did just what should be done. Figuring out what works for the tortoises we own. Great job. Sometimes it's not easy to figure out, they can be finicky

Yeah, it took me tons of set-ups to get it right. She is very picky.
