So cute... I was wondering in the second photo if you could maybe show me your enclosure? I would love to see it. Looks big. How big is it??? I want to make a new enclosure soon. So I'm trying to get some different idea's on what I could do when I'm ready to make an enclosure. So would love to see some different photos :)

ImageUploadedByTortForum1381684453.140529.jpg this is their enclosure it houses one juvenile red foot and two adults including the one I purchased today. The enclosure is 7x8 feet and I have another one that is almost identical which houses mixed species and is broken up into three sections. The tortoise house above it is for tortoise that get sick or new ones that I need to build an enclosure for. I have a heat mat which I am removing today because I just installed a space heater and ceramic light. It also have one tubular UVB bulb but soon two be two 48 inch ones. I also have a mister which I attach two a hose once a week. I find it to be pretty effective but I'm not sure it's the best for babies.

Ohh. Ok I see what you did you have the little enclosure inside the big enclosure. What does the bigger enclosure look like? I'm thinking of moving in the beginning of the year and hoping to find a place I can make an outdoor enclosure & a nice winter indoor enclosure. So this will be a challenge for me BUT I'm up for the challenge :)
I would LOVE to do a new enclosure now BUT I just made my enclosure not even 2 months ago. LOL.... I'm SOOOO bad... When I get bored with things FAST so when i do I want to change it. I did put a lot of money and time in this enclosure. So maybe I will wait and in a couple of years I will make another one. I just want to get my money out of this enclosure I made.

The big enclosure has a space heater, UVB lighting, ceramic heat lamp, a zoo med hide, and water and food bowl. Basically it's just a lot of space and a few tortoise :). The small enclosure currently is empty but I plan on setting it up for my baby sulcata so I can monitor her eat.

Ahhhh gotcha now :)
I'm hoping to make my torts a better enclosure in a few years but make them their outdoor enclosure once winter is over. I want them to be outside when the nice weather comes back :)

That's how I feel I like to keep mine outdoors during late spring through the summer. I saw you are getting a morph, congrats!
