My first post and I was planning on building an enclosure with my son this weekend. If you could send the plans as well that would be great! I really like what you did here! Thank you

Are you going to paint/seal the lid for the middle section on the inside? I see potential for mold. Also mount for the uv light. I would recommend it for any exsposed wood in the enclosure

Oh you're right. I thought since those pieces would not be directly exposed to the soil that it would be fine, but with 75% humidity I guess over time it would effect the exposed wood. Thank for bringing this to me attention. I assure you it will be dealt with.

Is that plant a good plant for torts to eat?

I actually took that plant out minutes after I posted the picture. It's a house plant called devils ivy and it could be toxic. I rather not have risked it so I took it out.
