Hey there Aldabraman My daughter is 11 and is raising three Russian torts. We r in Florida several times a year. Do you ever have visitors?????

Put a divider in it today. Mr Tank nipped at Kat. Bully bully. Kat and Leonard are getting along fine on their side. Tank is isolated. Boo.

That's Mr Tank checking out his new digs. Not quite finished setting it up but you guys get the basic idea now.

Here is my new and improved winter wonderland for my three torts this winter. Cold is coming and they need a warm place to be. Basically two 4' tables latched together so they can be moved,cleaned,etc...easily.
