Great looking tortoises. I have one about the same size and have been debating on getting a buddy for him. Seeing you with three of them is making me think harder about this...lol
Thanks for all the detailed info. My idea for sand came from Aldabraman’s night house like you had mentioned. I’ll add cypress mulch and ditch the sand.
I like your idea of the array of lights and I’ll get working on that.
Thanks for the info. That’s why I posted pics of it, I’m always willing to learn and do what’s best for my tortoise. I’ll ditch the heat lamp and get cypress mulch for substrate.
I haven't been on here in a LONG time. I just finished my aldabra's room and I figured I'd share. Smedley is three years old and is officially too big to be inside the house this coming winter. I build him a room inside my shop. 2x4 insulated stud walls, with two feet of epoxy shielded...

Hey Tana! Just saw you were on here. Glad you made it on here, great site. [hr]
Don't be so quick to judge. He is very well taken care of and is pampered. He is a healthy and active tortoise with a great personality. He was kept under the same conditions that 90% of ALL leopard...

Robin, glad you made it over here. Great info and great people with lots of experience, like I told you. Mazuri is a manufactured tortoise food, I can get you some if you want to try it. I might be able to make the herp meeting this week and can bring you some if you want to try it.
