They are adorable. Found this thread very interesting.

I too wondered that Karen but when I was in pets at home the other day browsing there terrible reptile range I spotted this .... It worked for me yesterday, it made up too much for our 3ft viv but i know for next time. Mikey does like to burrow and bury himself underneath, just hope it's ok...

Haha love the name Flash, We said after we named Mikey that maybe we should have called him Turbo! Can't believe how quick they move. :)

Aww Karen. Your set up looks good! I'm after some plant type decorations now. Not sure how to add the link, but will this screenshot do? I've ordered 100watt and 75watt to see how I get on.

I've got a digital thermometer coming from an eBay seller this week. I just got these to help give an indication for the time being, so they are temporary, I should have said. Yes I was wondering about the substrate, I will go in and pat it down. Was very surprised how a small block watered...

Thank you Taylor. I'm actually looking forward to it. Thanks so much for the quick reply.

Wow!! He is a very big boy and a good looking fella! I think tortoises are fascinating!

Thank you. He is so adorable.

We're going to bath Mikey this afternoon (first time) would it be ok to let him soak in the tub whilst in the garden? We've got some nice weather here today in the U.K. Or is it best to leave him (supervised of course) indoors. TIA

Thank you!! Can't even spell it correctly
