I made one of these for my Russian tortoise, but never kept up on it. I am going to try and keep this one up to date.
Here are pictures I took this morning:

(Please excuse the coffee container humid-hide)
I planted those succulents in her enclosure last night so she was investigating them. Unlike my Russian tortoise, she doesn't attack and kill her enclosure plants, so I can landscape all I want.

She's pretty. You should throw some seeds in that dirt. I bet they would do good.

I tried in one corner, but she ate them as they sprouted. I'm thinking about blocking off the corner until the seeds grow.

I just threw some more seeds in and she is eating the actual seeds. I do not think I will get a lot of growing done.

Artemis is soaking right now

When I was drying her off she tried to bite me! It was vicious, in a cute way.

Artemis after her soak, and I finally got a good picture of her missing scute;

AW: Artemis's Thread

So cute and so tiny! :heart:
You could try to get some plants to sprout outside the enclosure and transplant them afterwards. And the seeds that she ate will come back again (including free fertilizer

)
