Much bigger would be nicer and a few plants. However, if you can't do that, doesn't look to bad.:)

Very cool....but may I suggest one thing, PLLEEEEEZZZZZ :D ;

The set up you have, while resourceful, is a huge hazard (fire, dropping into enclosure)....please be sure to get the light fixture that has the ceramic type base and not plastic.....as the heating bulbs used for reptiles really really really put off alot of intense constant heat...

Is that a concrete post form cut in half for the hide? Awesome idea...and plants are always pretty and fun, since you have the caged top you can likely use some plants that will grow on/around the cage top as well and work as a type of humidity source also....cute tort too :D

Try a spider plant. You could hang it from the wire on top (securely) to save ground space. plants do add humidity especially if you mist them.
I have seem some with these enclosures use scraps of wood to create a small balcony on one end with a ramp. Creates a hide underneath, and adds some floor space and climbing action!
