Very cute! What a great array of edibles! Be sure too though that any plants planted in the enclosure are also safe for tortoise consumption. I am not great at plant identification so am not sure what you have growing. Very nice looking enclosure!

Oh great! Also, maybe something you could further research on this site is substrate types. I believe there is a forum about it saved. I have read that pine bark can be irritating to the eyes, something to do with the pine oils i believe. I have not used it but use cypress mulch instead which i have read is better than cedar.

The enclosure is planted with
Ajuga.....grows really well and likes to nibble on it.
Heartleaf iceplant......Grows great.. pretty much leaves it alone.
Some kind of ive i got from @Markw84 when i got tortoise from him......Eats the heck out of it but grows really good.

Took some work but humidity is holding between 85-95 and temps are good but do creep up into the low 90's late in the day.....It also gets some day time sun every day.
