I stumbled across these pictures online, and thought it looked like a great enclosure. Would it be a good enclosure? And by that, I mean would the grass and soil work for a leopard tortoise? I would think that after my tortoise ate, if he were still hungry or something, he could just nibble on some of the weeds around him. And then after that, they would just grow back. Are there any major flaws to an enclosure like this? Would it hold humidity well? I'd love for some answers.

Thanks.

Most Leopards don't really eat grass until they are older like 4-5 is when mine started to nibble some. But, it is still a great idea and maybe yours will like grass

It would be a great enclosure, if it was covered. Unless it is in a room with the correct high humidity though, you will constantly fight to keep the humidity up. Once your tortoise gets very big, the plants will be destroyed quicker than you can imagine. Mine are anyway.
