New enclosure

[Cindy63]

I just got this new enclosure for my Russian tortoise. It's much larger then the 20 gallon long glass tank. How do you experienced tortoise lovers think this will work!
Thank you
Cindy

It’s better than the 20 gallon, but please keep in mind that this tortoise really shouldn’t have an enclosure less than 8x4 feet, or at the very least 6x3. What are the dimensions?

Please be sure you get a 4+ inch layer of substrate in the entire enclosure, change the water bowl to a terra cotta saucer, and give these a read

Thank you for your information! I'm going to go out soon to get more substrate. And can I ask why a different water bowl? It's my first tortoise

Those ramp bowls are flipping and drowning hazards, as well as being harder for them to use in general
