Will add plants as the nurseries add to their stock. Everyone was so low on options! 
I am digging his tiki hut though, go Petco! Meet Ajith..

Thank you! He is our first ever star tort, looking to get him a girlfriend soon! He is 7 years old and 5.5" so she would need to be an adult as well.

And hopefully you will not die anytime soon but if you do, just put it in your will that you wish to be reincarnated as one of my torts!
Not just the life of a tort, but the life of a star tort who has her own tiki bar.

Is that tiki hut not to die for? LOL.... but really, it was the last one Petco had, I have never seen them so big it is normally for guineapig enclosures but Ajith (our star tort) will never know the difference!
Aw, thanks!And hopefully you will not die anytime soon but if you do, just put it in your will that you wish to be reincarnated as one of my torts!

Is that what it is?! I have seen them, but you're right they're usually tiny. That's a nice big one. Must be really nice and airy; great on hot days.

Just some edible natural tiki hut they make in all sizes for mice up to rabbits. I have never seen one this large though, $26.99 at petco way better than just your normal wood house!
Will the tortoise nibble on it? I was looking at a wooden box, but I find it doesn't stay cool in the sun. I'll have to look into tiki huts for my guys. Thanks for the info and idea!

I have not seen him even show interest in it period, he has not even ventured into it when I brought him to it. I do not see him wanting to nibble on it, as long as his food bowl next to it is full

So far he keeps it trimmed, or I would use a weed eater after putting him in a temporary tub in the mean time
Just a word of caution - some tortoises use plants and pots that are placed next to the walls as ladders and climb out of the enclosure.

Yes he is not much of a climber but the pots are more in the middle as he did not try to use them as a ladder but likes to walk the perimeter and would knock them over in the process. So far he digs all of it! The water dish and pave stone where he heats is now on the edge with an over hang to keep it cool.
