I am really happy the breeder put them on hold for me until I can pick them up. It will be prob another month, I first need winter tires for my car. And the enclosure,of course. But that makes it all for real

Leaf litter? What is that?
Jacqui said:Thanks Carl! I have always been a huge fan of raising my young in glass tanks, even when it became something most people would frown upon. I have quite a collection of 40 gal breeder tanks because of it.
ulkal said:Thank you Mick. The two I am getting are from the same clutch and get along well apparently, but I will closely monitor. They were incubated for females.
The sealing takes some time, because the side to be sealed has to be flat on the ground...then wait and dry...turn.
You all were superhelpful I have a better idea now. As soon as my terrarium is more than a wood box with glass windows I will post pics.
This might be a bit premature, but those two will be my torts
