Would this work for a tortoise enclosure? If so, for what age/size of tortoise? I don't have a tortoise yet, but I'm thinking that I want a Russian. I'm looking for something that I can house him/her in until I can build a bigger enclosure. Please advise, thank you!

Looks narrow and it's expensive for how short of a time it would work. An adult Russian needs a minimum of 4x8 foot. This would work for a short time for a hatchling, maybe a couple years or so.

47" x23"x32" trouble is, the 32" figure is the total height, to the ground. So you don't know how deep it is. I have a suspicion that after you add substrate it wouldn't be deep enough. Nice idea, though, if only it were deeper.

Here’s a garden bed that works well with some modifications-

One member used a Lifetime raised garden bed like this and it looked superb when made into a tort home. Also came with a tent to help with humidity. I'll see if I can find the posts about it.
