Hi guys,
I'm just wondering if any of you have converted out buildings into large tortoise enclosures? I would be grateful if you would post links to threads or photos of your set ups.
We live in a climate with long ugly winters. We don't feel comfortable allowing our tortoise out during the winter and don't want her to be stuck in a small tortoise shed. Our plan is to convert a workroom attached to our garage in order to build a large indoor area with plants, lights, soaking area, and space to spend the ugly winters in. I really hope we can make it nice for her, like a little winter retreat.
We just put in a new Electrical service and it will be quite a while before we can get to plumbing and heating. Heck, we're still improving our closed chamber!, but we really need to begin PLANNING it now and laying down some work as the funds and time allow. I'd love any inspiration and advice that can be offered!
Thanks!
