Can anyone provide any plans for a tortiose enclosure

I asked that same question a long time ago and nobody responded; your best bet is to just draw out a blueprint of the pen yourself. Some things to remember:
1. Make it as large as you can
2. If you have a top, make sure it comes all the way off (didn't do this for mine, it was a pain in the ass to clean and remodel)
3. If you have a pair or more than one male make a sectioned off pen, or section it off anyway and you can rotate the torts from section to section lick you for crops in a field.
4. Place for hides and water trays
5. make sure they can't see through it
6. Make sue its dug deep enough or as I did place some kind of barrier so you know they can't get out (we bricked and backfilled my pen.
7. If you’re planning to put bushes in make sure they stay small or the top is high enough to keep the plant in.
8. Make it look nice
9. Show it off when it’s done

Hope this helps out
I could give you more detail on mine but then yours wouldn't be unique
