I am looking to set up a new enclosure for my Russian tortoises. I am thinking 3x7, not sure about height. I also want to add a second level(possibly for a basking spot). I am open to any suggestions but just know I have restricted space.

Hello all! So it's that time to build my Horsefield tortoise, Hank a new table.
