Wow what a big storm, I've lived in Orlando for over 40 years and never had a hurricane like that. Great to see other people with tortoises in the house. Stay safe during the cleanup Fla tort people!
I like cinder blocks but they can be ugly. I go two high with a cap on top, it makes a great place to sit and watch the tortoises. The first time I used mortar and stucco to make it permanent, but now I leave it loose so I can change it up. You can leave off the caps and put plants in the tops...
Yea Brian as most of us have found out pet stores just want to sell pet stuff. Great info on this forum take time to read the links and your little dudes will be fine.
