Here a tank I found on Craig's list, snagged it for 40 dollars housing 3 mt toetoises. Got these 3 from Vic Morgan 3 years ago and they are doing great. The tank is 6x2feet and just under 2 feet tall. Here are a few pictures. I sill am going to core the sides with paper. But pretty much done

Sweet Deal Millerlite, such a score on the tort tank!:)

Love the "waterfall" on the far left and how you have everything situated.

Could you post more pics of your 3 bmt's I would love to see how 3 year old looks. I have two at 4months old.

Nice pics Millerlite.

Wow, I have to cut my grapes for my torts to eat them, yours can chop right through the skin of the grape.

Very cool, thanks for the pics. Can't wait till mine get as big as yours! Vic Morgan posted some pictures of his big BMTs ....its gonna take a while for ours to get those sizes.
