Love this enclosure for an appropriately sized terrestrial/semi-arboreal reptile. Not just for tortoises, I'm using this for my juvenile bearded dragon and it's great. The PVC bottom holds a decent amount of substrate, and the hide/removable bathing and feeding area is useful for the most popular reptiles. Throw a few decorations in there to match your creature's natural environment and you've got them truly decked out.The size is similar to a 40 gallon tank if I'm not mistaken, if not a bit deeper and less wide. Not 100%. It also has a simple latch lock, which has kept my two curious (albeit mildly tempered) cats from breaking into it.I opted to mount my lighting to the grate (wide spaced wires btw, so UVB isn't obstructed!) rather than hang it off the pole that you can attach to the enclosure. The grate seems sturdy enough, I wouldn't reckon it's sturdy enough to hold a person's weight, but it's held up three light fixtures and a mealworm dish perfectly fine, even when opened and closed over the course of months. I also removed the ramp because my little guy can climb easily, especially with the decorations I used.My biggest personal downside with this enclosure would be that the bottom slides out, leaving gaps between the walls and floor. This means you can't use loose crickets or other feeders, as they'll just scurry to the edges, find their way through a crack, and drop the the floor of the room...which, come to think of it, also means you couldn't house any smaller snakes in it either. If any...certainly not a cornsnake. Anyways, I've managed to find a system that works for my beardie and me, but it would ultimately be better if it was just sealed around the edges. It's easy enough to clean without taking the bottom out...it's not like you have to hose it down outside. I suppose you could seal it on your own with some kind of pet-friendly sealant, which I might end up looking into.The only other downside I can think of is that the clear walls are made of plastic, which scratches and mars very easily. But it's a value enclosure, let's be honest. I got this for a juvenile beardie who will eventually outgrow it, it was never meant to be permanent.If you're looking for something cute, ultimately temporary, and unique, this is a fantastic choice that doesn't sacrifice your options in setup. But for something permanent and more standard, I recommend going for a bioactive setup in a front-opening glass terrarium. They're daunting to set up, but they're easy to maintain in the long run and they can look natural and beautiful if you get creative.Either way, have fun, and do your research!
