That came out totally fantastic.

One question... How do you keep them in (from the last picture)?

Ed: ? I don't have a problem with anyone climbing out yet. I put the russians on the bottom in case they decided to climb out, in the middle I had crush - sulcata in, but I got a new boxie so I put him and his tote in there, once he starts eating, I will take him out of the tote, but right now I want a lid over him for humidity and easier to find. The top has a divider down the middle and my two sulcatas are up there and I have had no problems so far with any of them climbing out.

It was a joke silly... the last picture was posted sideways.

Your setup is fantastic. I really liked it with the stain.

Jen the new pens look great. I too like the idea of going up, not out. and ED I must admit that was a good one:D

The aspen I have now came from petsmart so the flakes are bigger, but the torts don't mind it. Petco sell aspen and those are smaller pieces. I thought about calling some of the shavings companies around here and asking them if the have aspen, usually they have really tiny pieces.

Thanks everyone for your comments...

The Aspen I use is produced by Harlan Teklad. It is only sold iin bulk... by the pallet.

If you are near a large metropolatan area you might be able to find it in your area... I can't find it around Atlanta. I love the stuff for snakes, lizards and tortoises.

I am 6' and I still need a stool to get into the top box. I can look over, but not reach in.

When I stand on the stool I can get in and clean and what not. But I am going to buy a little step ladder that way I can slide it underneath and it won't be seen. I love this setup, so much easier and everyone is all together (kinda)

Yep, I think I'm going to try to make a smaller version of this for hatchlings! It's VERY cool!
