I am extremely excited. I have been carefully saving up my money and watching to see if my leopard rescue survived. When he passed 100 g I decided it was time to commit to getting a really good enclosure. After reading all the threads and looking at multiple different enclosures including trying to build my own I decided to buy one from Mark. I got it a few weeks ago but I wasn’t ready to put it together because I switched my job in the middle of the pandemic and I just didn’t have time to try to do it. I also live alone and it was in a crate in the crate intimidated the crap out of me. Well, this past weekend I managed to get the crate open (and I am now the proud owner of a new cordless drill) and I put the whole thing together by myself. I am a 60-year-old woman with absolutely no skills and it was literally a slide together and plug and play. I am including pictures of my leopard tortoise In his new house which he likes very much other than his new hide box which he won’t go into at all. He was stuffing himself in one that was too tiny and he couldn’t even turn in it and so I took a plastic shoebox and cover it with foil and he has decided it is a monstrous thing. He’s living under the plants. I don’t have a name as I don’t know the sex yet but suspect male and my nephew calls him Koopa. I am embarrassed to admit that I didn’t understand the reference for the name and I will no doubt change the name when I am sure of the sex. I really don’t think the tortoise cares either way. Right now I’m calling them stubborn for not using that awesome hide box I made him.
