Ok I am sure I am not the first person to do this but here we go.
I moved from Miami Florida to Bluffton South Carolina. I bit colder here for my two Aldabrans. In Miami I just used a fake rock with a hole cut in it.
but now they have gotten too big to both spend the night under there. I have been trying to come up with something that wouldn't be too big of an eyesore. Here is what I came up with.
I picked up a large deck box at Lowes and cut a hole in the front. I also make a small "tunnel" with some bent "open house" signs. I did that to keep some of the cooler air out in the up coming months and also to give the torts a divider. It seemed they didn't like to snuggle.
I also added some hay for bedding.
They took to it right away. I only had to put them in there once before they knew it was there new home sweet home.
Once things get a bit cooler I am going to insulate it with some styro and some of that rolled reflective Insulation. I am also looking into a radiant panel heater.
So what cha think???
