Looks real nice. My only concern is I hope she dont fall off the side of the ramp and upper landing and end up upside down. After having a bad experience with my tort being up side down, I always worry about that now. Have a great day! :)

@Johnny - I use 60% cypress mulch and 40% peet moss underneath to maintain moisture

Wow that looks really great! Well done! The substrate looks nice, the pieces aren't too big for their feet. I really like the look of it with the lil hidey area! :)

Two thumbs up! I like how you considered aesthetics and storage of the misting bottle and stuff on the side :)!! Can you make me one?? Same color...

How big is she now?

What did you use to waterproof the inside?

I used polyurethane and let it cure for some time for purposes of smell. Being that polyurethane is toxic, make sure it is not used in a spot where they will be walking or scratching and observe scratch marks when cleaning. For example, I did not use it on the ramp and I glued a plastic layer in the hide spots in case of digging. I feel it is safe to use as long as it is used responsibly and thoughtfully, more because it dries very very hard

Looks nice, I saw multiple hides, and I also saw your misting bottle in the last 2 pictures good move.
