I live in Arizona so winters are fairly mild but our initial outdoor shelter was not well insulated. I used a kane heat mat and a CHE. Our electric bill is really about the same as it was in previous winters.
Hi,
So Franklin (who is a girl) is finally getting her new digs!! We built a 4x4 shelter based off of one of Tom's designs but I don't know what size heat panels to purchase and would LOVE suggestions so I don't spend the money on the wrong size. Thank in advance!

This is true. As long as they are gifted not sold your okay. I did get documentation from the woman that gifted mine to me but the main thing is not to take them from the wild or out of state.
Confused please help ASAP
My Franklin had pyramiding very much like that as a result of dry conditions. Once I created a humid environment his new growth started coming in flat. That isn't severe pyramiding and should look fine as he grows. Good job on making the changes, he's a cute little guy.
Beans is a beautiful tortoise! I have a little guy who loves to climb on top of one of his hides. I had to build sloped walls of coco coir on either side. Now he crawls up one side and slides down the other on his plastron. He does this over and over. It is so fun to watch!
