When I realized I again hijacked someone else's thread, I cut immediately so I'm hoping this works...and makes sense...
You made a whole master bedroom for a box turtle? Holy crap! Even I didn't do that...you do know that box turtles don't need a whole room to be happy...?? I had 3 of these made, they are 2.5 ft across and 6ft long. They spend their nights here and in their outside pen daily. I do realize that Matilda is a special box turtle but come on!

Here are my 2 special favorites..
.
The Eastern is Ginger she was sent to me about 10 years ago from a rescue in the Midwest because they had heard that I was good with blind chelonia. She's not blind and I might make a helpful thread about her...the Ornata was rescued in Eastern Oregon and they called me because they'd heard about me and I went and got her.. on the phone call it was a male Russian tortoise and so I hopped in the old IROC and drove to the wilds of Eastern Oregon, 300 miles, with a stop in Pendleton for a hot dog. (sigh) I'm sitting in my clean and shiny red car people watching and holy cow-boy.. I don't think I saw or even noticed anything above Wrangler level. tee hee...So I got this what they had said in the phone call was a male Russian was actually I was a female ornata... for freakin years it's a female, you know me I love to post pictures...so "you know who" saw pictures of the little box turtle, and she waits until a few months ago to declare my female Terrapene ornata ornata a male??? Suspicious, dont'cha think??? Until recently all the box turtles that are pets were female, but for some reason she likes to mess up my genders, somewhat like my odd family. So this is Sam my 3 legged, oh yes..,.that how I got him...the gardner at a golf course ran over her cutting off her leg. He had treated it and so I got this great little turtle and some important eye candy...lol
