I was convinced for awhile to repeat that mantra - "Aquariums are bad." I have since changed my mind and I am back to using aquariums, so I stand behind Tom on that one 100%!

So how wet is it in their basement?
Keep us posted and updated with lots of pics, I may incorporate this idea into my outdoor table I have to build in spring. I was planning a burrow like that video on youtube, but this setup gives me a much better idea allowing access.

I was thinking of all sorts of clever comebacks for you , but it just keeps occurring to me that the answer is truly, "I don't know." There could be a huge field of flat rocks right next to where all the wild females lay their eggs, and upon hatching each baby digs out and goes and finds its own flat rock to bask on...
I know, just being silly...
But seriously, do you recommend no basking rock?

PICTURES PLEASE
Same here, but I am using Lexan. Should be fun to have a see through floor. Wonder if they will be spooked by it, necessitating lots of ground cover, or if I can just dab it here and there and observe life in the undergrowth.the plan is to use the pvc as the frame, and then plastic as the platform for the top tier and ramp to get up to it.
Where do you get that from?and then ill attach Hermit crab climbing fiber, that way it will give something for the tort to grip onto
Zamric said:Hermit Crabs...? hmmmm...., how well do they cohabitate? arn't crabs meat-eaters? I don't think they would hurt your tort, but those 2 creatures have no common link to form a symbiosis except to mutually ignore one another.

I don't see any problem with your current set up.
