Got it as a gift. I wish I would of just built our own. The materials for this is cheap, scratches easy, the latches such. I wish for the amount of money that is costed that it was constructed much better and with better and more durable.

I Love this tortoise box! I got one when my Leopard torto outgrew the box we built for her. Nice size hide with a big door allows her to go in and out with ease. Plenty of space for the torts to grow. I love the lid to keep other pets/children out of the box. The window is a great feature that torts love! The cons: This isn't great construction for the price, it is particle board. One hinge does not hold the lid up right. The black coating does scratch easy. It is deep enough a standard UVA/UVB would not be effective enough, and a bigger bulb or mercury vapor bulb would be necessary. Pros: Large size, good lid, good latches, great lamp stand attached, looks good in the room (Though we call it the tort coffin) Tall size allows for plants and decor.

I hate writing negative reviews, but this item is so poorly constructed that I find myself searching for a replacement after only three months of use. It was not easy to put together, secondary to the poor quality of the materials, and it is already falling apart. The manufacturers stated that a wooden habitat is preferable for tortoises to prevent them from scratching at the glass walls of a terrarium, but my tortoise spends plenty of time scratching at the wood as well. Not recommended.

Great size and much better for the tortoise than a fish tank. Fits perfectly on top of our greyhound's crate. Assembly was challenging and one latch doesn't work. Door over sleeping area doesn't quite line up properly so opening/closing very often may cause a problem. Overall a good investment.
