Utterly fantastic!!
I would hate to see your electricity bill
Thanks for sharing the photo's.

Yep it's not small at atoll. Broke the first one over a thousand back in December. Been consistently over that since then,

 

[tortadise]

Fantastic Kelly. I do have a question though. Not sure if I missed something. You said Aldabra's, not Aldabra. Did I miss you getting another one or you were just speaking to the future? I just doesn't want to miss it when you get to having them

For the future.

Very well. Well at least on the inside. Still have to complete the outdoor pens and ponds for spring release.
Need to update some pics of it for everyone.


And the doors that go outside(when the outside is done of course, but it's still cold at night now.

Haha well yeah. It's not as big as I'd like it though. But I have limited shaded areas and that's a definite need for Manouria.

 

[bouaboua]

I already so ENVY of the size of what you build for the indoor one. This outdoor one I believe will be also impressive as well. Lucky torts of yours! ! ! !

Big pens.

And smaller pens. 5'x5'
View attachment 117328
And even non wet drier pens. But they still get all the humidity just no spray downs or misting system.

And lots of tanks for wee ones.

And the mountain mansion.

View attachment 117332
And some nice custom special tortoise enclosures.

And then the wee shack. For more dryer and arid species, and wee babies.
Quite warm in this building so I leave a variety of tortoise eggs ambient incubation in this building. Works great.

Hi

Looks good that. Will be pinching some ideas. What purpose do the fans hanging from the ceiling serve. Do they circulate air and keep the warmer air lower down.
