This is their new home, for now. I know they will grow out of it soon so I'm on a hunt for a large bookcase. But it's okay though because I'm preparing to get a smaller breed of tortoise too in a few months so I can just use it for that.

It's coco fiber substrate and if you look closely you can see the beginnings of grass growing. Hopefully it will be fully grown in a few weeks. One of the lights is MVb and one is just a regular light to brighten up the enclosure because I only have the mvb on for a few hours a day.

Looks good. I just picked up a big i think concrete mixing bin from home depo for $15 my red foot loves it. more room for him. So when you need to go a bit bigger i recommend one. Will post a pic for ya. It is still being sorted out. I just got him days ago and he was mistreated badly But he is good now. And yes I just cleaned his water bowl and he decided to take a swim.

Thanks. I'm already using a 40-gallon or so tank, so when I need to upgrade I think I'll need to go with a bookcase.
Glad you rescued him.
