I tried to post some photo's of my new enclosure but couldn't get the pictures to convert to a small enough size in order to upload. Hopefully have this figured out now. Let me know what you guys think!

I love this enclosure. Great job! Its huge and the L shape lets them get away from each other if they want to. Love the nice variety of plants too. I recognize a few of them.

As a side note, have you tried using http://tinypic.com/ Just upload any size pic and it resizes it automatically. Then just copy/paste the IMG code into your post. Its really easy. I'm terrible with computers and I was able to figure it out really quickly.

I think its a wonderful place for your Russian tortoises...nice and big, plenty of plants for shade and quite a few hiding places. There was only one thing that concerned me. I see that you have positioned the short fence so that it leans into the pen so the tortoise can't climb, but that leaves a space between the wire and the short fence that a tortoise might get caught inside in case he IS able to climb the short piece. Just keep your eye on it for a while to be sure no one decides to try the houdini act there.

Thanks for the feedback - definitely appreciate it. I took most of the morning fixing this issue. Nothing a bit of drilling and some zip ties couldn't handle!
