I'm up late tonight stressing about outdoor housing and heating. I recently moved from Az to Ca and boy did my Nommie get BIG here. I'm not handy with tools, is there anyone that can help me? This Tort house is my favorite!
Thank you everyone for your knowledge. I'm glad her and the fake tort can be "friends." No harm there. If it wasn't for you, I would have a back yard FULL of torts.
I know you have said Leopard Tortoises shouldn't have friends but......

Last summer I bought Nommie at my favorite local pet store. I've been shopping at this pet store since I was a very little girl. First off, I now know its not really a good thing to buy our torts from a pet store but.... I have this need to rescue them all from the dry, poor lighting, hay...
