I have updated my new leopard tortoise pics and added pics of the tortoise table in progress.
Any and all advise would be appreciated.

Very nice, really great start.

You might want to make the sides taller, once you put substrate in there they will be shorter than 9 inches and it looks to be a good sized tortoise. other than that it looks great.

Looks good. I agree with raising the sides a little. Your girl looks about 9 inches tall aready. So you do not block the view you may want to consider plexiglass extension another 4 or 6 inches? Also for the bottom I gound a remnant of vinyl flooring works great. The substrate is relatively dry for leopards and a little caulk around the edges. I have found no problems with that.

Yeah, its amazing how much a tortoise can climb. Raising the sides would be wise.
