Added a few new things to Tico's enclosure. I put Bamboo mats across the back, added some foliage around the dry hide and the basking spot, and put some grass around the water bowl. Thanks for looking and any comments on things I can improve on.

Oh wow, it looks incredible. :D

You've made me want a viv...

No, my table is fine.

At least, a theme. I want a theme. :p

I'm not sure I've ever said this, but Tico is one of my favourite tortoises. I think he's absolutely stunning, and his enclosure is incredible as well.

Now, if I only I had a way of making something just as amazing for my true favourite tortoise, but I don't think it works with a table. :p

I'm going to sit here planning again, today. And I thought I was done re-modelling!

Looks great! Any problems with Tico nibbling on the astroturf or eating the white rocks? I've had problems with my sully Lightning.

HAHAHA, I don't think the re-modeling and upgrading is ever done. I guess thats half the fun!

He has sniffed at the astro turf but no munching on it and he bit at the rocks when I first put them in but he's over them now.

looking good, but don't tort suppose to have a good air flow?

There are gaps in the glass and 4 vents across the back. I'm not to worried about lack of airflow.

Looks great! I like totally enclosed enclosures myself. It definitely makes it easier to regulate temps and humidity.

I only have one problem... Where the heck are the new pics of Tico?!?!?! ;)

Hi Vinnie, how do you protect the wood from humidity? I have just made a new plywood table and I wonder how to waterproof it.
