Hey guys.

I don't know where to really start but here is me giving a go at it:
I'm from South Africa - North West to be specific and since "Dean" is getting older I thought it was time to join a forum.

Dean is my Leopard Tortoise that we have had for about 1 & 1/2 years now. He is a very lazy bugger that is quite partial to me (he always picks me over the wife :p).

Apart from Dean, we have:
Corn Snake - Vanecular
Potbelly - Varkie
Bearded Dragon - Gog
Curly Hair Tarantula - Curly-Sue
Staffie Mix - Cpt Mortain

I would like to gain know-how regarding Dean:
- What vegetation is he allowed to eat in my garden ( I know what he may and may not eat, but I want to confirm via a picture or something of my garden).
- What kind of enclosure is good enough for him as he gets older.
- Ants - how much of a threat do they become when he gets older.

Ok, enough rambling... :tort:
