That's awesome!! Very safe and still big. Good job! I'm sure you have heard this before but, we don't recommend mixing species for lots of very good reasons. So I would suggest you put a divider up and leave about 75% for the Russians and 25% for the Herman's.

Looks like a great enclosure :) are you planning on planting any vegetation? Not only will it be food but also a place for them to hide and feel safe and secure :tort:

Very nice! And just wait till all those seeds grow, it will surprise you how much and quickly it feels in.
