    Can elongated tortoise climb?! HELP!

    Thanks Sarah :/ I used an idea I got off the Internet and was so proud of the design! I rarely build anything by myself lol. I went and put a lid on the open part and will rethink the enclosure.

    Hi! I'm very excited to be here ;)

    Hello, Two years ago, I saw a listing on kijiji (buy/sell site) for a tortoise. I am a teacher and I have the privilege of being able to have peys in my classroom. Turtles and tortoises fascinate me! They have such personalities! <3 At the time, I naively went off the word of his previous...
