Ehhhem!! Bartman.....pics?? lol That size is fine. You might want to consider putting like 3 or 4 inches of backdrop on the bottom edge of the glass. This way she can't see out. I find, no matter how long she has, my Russian has never figured out hwat glass is. It seemed to stress her alot before I put the boarder on.

Ideally, a plywood pen or something similar works best...The glass aquarium isn't great because the ammonia builds up from any wastes in the aquarium and doesn't allow for proper air exchange.

Mines ok, right? From what i understand it is ideal for a tortoise..they wont get stressed from the glass, she cant see from the plexiglass front and its the right size...
