The branches are Maple and Cypress and a few Live Oak. They should be good and safe.

WOW! I love your enclosure. I am sure your torts are very happy in their new home. I was wondering where you got the wood pieces for the sides of the 2nd story. They make the enclosure look awesome.

Sooooo cool. They love to bask right. Have you had any luck breeding them?

The second story is made of wood as are the stairways. All of the wood was sealed with five coats of of sealer to waterproof it and we added the split branches to the stairways to give them traction.

The "railings" to keep them from falling off the second story and the stairways are split natural branches found on our own property that are nailed and wood glued in place.

No breeding yet, they are still way too young. We still can't even tell if Emma is a girl yet, but if she turns out to be, then hopefully one day.
