Habitat Haven's cedar floor is a "floating" floor made of individual planks. They are meant to be placed inside the enclosure and can easily be removed for cleaning or overwintering. Between each board, there should be a gap of approximately 1/2" which allows for proper water drainage, as well as expansion caused by changes in weather and humidity.
