So i decided to switch my torts enclosures. The ebt was on top and the leo on the bottom. I downsized the bottom so i had to switch them. Plus heat rises so the top is always warmer. I took all the dirt out and changed the plastic lining.

The top is 7'l-3'w-18'h. I threw out the old dirt and bought peat moss and top soil. There's an insulated humid hide that's 87°f with 85% humidity. Temps are 80°f with 110°f basking spot. The overall humidity in the room is 75%.

The bottom is 5'-5' with dirt dug up from the woods with a lot of dry leaves crushed up in it. The temps are 75°f with a basking spot of 88°f.

Very nice! My only concern was the 110° basking spot. That seems a little toasty :) but I don't have leopards so maybe that's really good for them. that's a nice way to keep your tortoises in a smaller area but still give them a very nice sized enclosure. in order to get my indoor enclosures a bigger I'm going to have to start building up also.

105°f is what the caresheet says. Since it's an open table i bump the temps up. Thank you for your concern though :) and yeah i moved them to a smaller room so it would stay warm and humid so i had to condense. I made the front wall of the bottom enclosure strong enough to hold my weight so i can access the top enclosure by standing on it.
