In the month of January and February I purchased some cherry heads from Jd also known as @N2TORTS on the forum. As everyone knows he has amazing tortoises. But its impossible to imagine exactly how amazing. Well let me tell you. Of the bat, first day, first few hours the torts we super active and eating. Not quick to hide like the other reds i own. Then the next moring when i went to soak them they had already pooped in the water dish. Lol self soaker I call them. They are not afraid of humans so they are out and about most of the day. If you own multiple tortoises can recognize the true captive bred captive raised blood line in these torts. The customer service was also amazing, quick and friendly response every time. Enough about JD we all know how great he is, know lets check out some torts!!

Lovely! But then, we expect nothing less from J.D.

Yeah you have some true beauties indeed. I also have 4 stunning torts from @N2TORTS as well. I like your setup with the rocks/water. I'll have to do something like that!! Thanks for sharing:)

those rocks/water are awesome but how do you clean it?
I really haven't had to yet. It has a pond filter and a bunch of guppies and cory cats. They eat the tort poop and most of the debris. The water evaporates and i refill it with the hose. So I guess thats like a water change.

Could you post more photos of it? I would like to try to make one for myself.

Sorry guys and gals i got home late last night. But here are some picture of the enclosure. Also i have a quick question. I bring the babies in at night. But wonder if i could leave them outdoors over night? Maybe only on the weekend. I do have a 7inch and tw0 5 inch reds in the enclosure as well. Would that be a problem?

@Jacqui, if I remember correctly, you did the enclosure threads. This one needs to be added if the OP doesn't mind.

I would worry about night time critters eating those babies. I think it's safer to bring them in at night.

Walked outside to take the picture and found my big girl cuca in the pond taking a swim. Its weird that she is the only one that swims. They all soak in the shallow and drink water, but she is the only one that swims/floats.
I posted a picture of the whole enclosure. I have yet to have a problem with critter. I dont have a problem bringing them in at night. I just know they would benefit from being outdoors. I was worried about the big ones crushing a baby. Maybe ill just bring them in and bring them out when there older.

I'm going to have to build one of these for my babies, I'm sure they would love it.
