Tortle Rooms!!

[Delilah1623]

Let's see your tortle (tortoise & turtle) rooms! I can't be the only one with a room that makes your family and friends question your sanity!

Note the 3 happily eating tortoises (although the one in the tank is hard to see!)

Yeah, I would have one but I have a tortoise shed . My wife doesn't let me keep them inside . But she lets me keep my two leopard babies in our room in a big tank.

It's my favorite room in the house. It's the only bedroom with just 1 outside wall and with all the lights going it's 10 degrees warmer than the rest of the house lol

I have a bedroom with two large stock tanks in it. And there's even room for one more slightly smaller enclosure, if the need shell arise and yes, with the lights that room is also warmer than the rest of the house.

Mine are 'scattered' Elmo lives in the very tippity upstairs, the turtles are all about in the basement, and of course miss sulcata doesn't come inside!
Because I do love to upgrade my coldblooded friends, I have two extra tanks right now just waiting for occupants...

 

[leigti]

It seems like after you done it for a while you suddenly just happen to have an extra enclosure available, just in case

A room for the chelonians? You joke. They have the whole house and I have just a room in it. lol

I don't have a picture of my room, but our spare room is my dedicated "office" and reptile room. I have my Tortoise in there as well as my Corn Snake, Crested Gecko, Leopard Gecko, 2 Kenyan Sand Boas, then my Rosy Boa is in the basement and my African Fat-tailed Gecko is in our bedroom, lol. I'm going to try to get all of them in to the spare room but I'm going to have to do some re-organizing and tank tetris.

Laughing so hard! I can just see, in my mind right now, a figure navigating around tanks and tubs to the one room that has nothing in it!

I don't have photo but my guinea pigs and tortoises share a room. It was our kids playroom but now that they are 8 and 10 and don't use it anymore. Someday I would like to rip out the carpet and put in laminate because it's durable! I always get hay and dirt on the carpet!

I would laugh too but I see that happening not that far in the future for me

My dining room use to have a huge table in it for family gatherings, as the children grew, left home and family gatherings became at their houses, the table was no longer used. So it's gone and instead I now have three stacks of tortoises. Same thing with the unused couch and where a TV used to be, and it just continued. My bedroom is the only room with no tortoises, BUT it does have the incubator.

LOL! You have a tortle house with a 'human' room!

 

[Jacqui]

LOL! You have a tortle house with a 'human' room!

I do indeed, but don't tell the cats and dogs.

 

[Delilah1623]

You have some of those weird looking tortoises too?

I do indeed, but don't tell the cats and dogs.

Indeed you are not alone. Not even the least sane lol. I have converted a spare room into my tortoise/green house room. My husband put a sink in and shelves with lights in the closet. This is my favorite room in the house. It is always warm, so that is a bonus.

I love the shelves in the closet with a shop light over each. Tell your hubby, "Good Job!!"
