Very cool! My bf is going to school to be an engineer as well, although he is probably going into electrical.

I live in Wittmann too. I have some half pipe that is great for burrows and lots of cactus for eating. Let me know if you want any. I love Jeeping and Mnt biking all around Vulture peak.

What is a half pipe? Like a half concrete sewer pipe? I've wondered where I might get something like that and wondering how to cut a sewer pipe in half. How did you do it?


BTW, it is a beautiful 79 right now at my house and my torts are loving it!!

I'm in Gilbert. I love that Arizona is one of the "tortoise capitals" of the world. We have such a great climate here for so many species.

Half pipe is a pipe that is cut in half, I have 14inch water pipe. It is thick pvc and cuts easily with a sawzall and a wood blade. Then you dig a nice trench that slopes down and drop it in. Get the torts about two feet under ground and the native guys will hibernate very comfortably. I got it off craigslist.....where else?

I'm seeing this a little late but I'm Austin and I'm from Mesa, AZ. I breed Sulcatas, Leopards, and Greeks and am working on owning a little bit of everything. As far as torts go at least... :)
