I thought I'd post a "final" update. The enclosure is not 100% finished, but I doubt it ever will be. I anticipate regularly adding new plants as they get destroyed or simply don't survive and the insulated hide is a long-term project I hope to have finished before temperatures start dropping below 75 degrees F during the day, but that will be a while.

For the time being Rasputin is spending all day outside, even when we are away from the house, and being brought back inside at night. He is noticeably more active and "happier" (just meaning he appears to behave very naturally) outdoors.

Any further updates will be covered in the thread Rasputin, the Sulcata Tortoise on the Sulcata forums.

EDIT: Looking at the pictures, I may do one more update once the new grazing mix I planted comes up a bit. I think that should really "complete" the look. Additionally, I'm wanting some larger bushes/plants, but I'm waiting to see how the existing ones grow/expand first.
