    Our Dalmatian Tortoise enclosure

    Hi Yellow Turtle, Thank you! We had a lot of fun designing Luis' home. The loft railings are twigs from a trimmed tree. My husband drilled holes in the base, then we glued the twigs in place. However, the loft takes up a lot of room and Luis does not use it, so it's coming out this...

    Little black flies in my enclosure :\

    I think I may be obsessed with my sulcata.

    :)So relieved to know I am not alone! Our hatchling has been home for only a week and I spent way too much time watching him sleep under a plant yesterday

    New Indoor Dalmatian Hermann's Tortoise Table

    Well the photos don't provide great perspective, but the railing is attached and is about 4" high which should be okay while he's small.
