Hello, It's very difficult to find photos of outdoor enclosure for this specie. Can you post some pictures of yours ?

This is mine :

Wow! Those are lucky tortoises! I wish i had some to show you. I have a feeling other people may not share their photos for fear of having them viewed next to your great enclosure. Absolutely terrific!

Very nice!!! I'm in the process of building a new one for my pancakes, and you've given me some great ideas. Thanks!

Thank you !!

For you what is the minimal temperature for pancake tortoises ? 15°C ?

Because in France it's quite cold...

france you say. how cool. its cold here in connecticut in the winter. i have to keep them indoors. i keep them right now in a 50 gallon set up. i also have a large kids pool that i let them play in with the lights and stuff to stay warm. in the summer they have a large back yard with a fenced in area. NOT LIKE YOURS. LOVE YOURS. I am trying to get a much, much larger indoor set up for the winter.your cakes have it made.

no, dont sleep outside. too many wild animals where i live. i would think night time would be cooler. 70 to 80. i only have a pair of cakes and an egg ready to hatch. my cakes most of the time stay in the heated area.there is lot of in for. here in the pancake forum. thats why i like it here. there are better pancake keepers here than me.if i can help you in anyway i will. again, nice set up.

I really love your set up. I wanted to buy a pair of pancake adults at the last reptile show but my husband is saying no until I have the setup ready. You gave me some great ideas. I love both the indoor and outdoors areas. Thanks for posting.

You've made a really great enclosure! It's both functional and attractive!
