That is a great design. Love the roof.

Where are you in the world? How do you intend to heat it?

You did a nice job on this tort house. Your builder selling the plans. He could make some money if he did.

Cave imagine you would need a UV bulb in there.
Why are you considering setting one up in the house?

He will be to big for inside we always said he would go out side when he gets bigger and yes there will be a uv
The bottom has 12 mm plastic that has also been insulated under the plastic

How old is he? I am also in the uk and have just got a baby leopard. Planning similar outdoor house as yours for him to live in all year round. He is tiny at moment so will be keeping inside on a tabletop for a while.

It really upsets me that someone would subject their tortoise to live in such conditions for the novelty of having a unique enclosure.

After seeing his current digs and big YAY for his new house!

When is the big move to outdoors? I bet he can't wait.

He sure is pretty :)

Earlier, I had asked why you felt you needed UV lights in the outside house because the sun will be enough for ya. Save $$ and skip the artificial lighting.

Yes the old house he lived in was only going to be till he got bigger he spends a lot of time walking round our front room
I've just waiting for the electrician to put power to it now


The uv will be when he can't get out side we don't get many hot days in the uk :-(
