It's plain to see that you've got the humidity covered. Nice improvising! I've always said those guinea pig cages don't work for tortoises, but you've plainly made it work!

Great looking. I agree with Yvonne when I see or hear “cage” I cringe a bit, but, you’ve made some nice modifications. Shrink wrapped, plants, a hide or two, etc.

The only thing I would suggest is to sink the watering dish down level into the substrate. A lot easier for a tort to sink down into a dish.

LastLy, not sure of your substrate, but it looks like it has perlite mixed in. Id slowly swap all of that out and replace with orchid bark, coco coir, peat moss/cypress mulch blend.

Good luck. Time to start thinking about expanding.
