Beautiful "smoke". That's the right way for holding exotic animals!

What kind of mister is that? It's awesome!

It's a room humidifier bought from a home store, simply modified with a hose to direct the humid air into the tank, I've tried reptile specific humidifiers and they don't seem to last, so I went for a domestic one

The cat seems to like sleeping on top of their viv, I have a smaller viv on top with a gecko so he gets a nice bit of heat from both tanks, it's a cats life

My cat loves to be in the turtle/tortoise room, it's very warm in there.

Three years on, Felipe and Fernando are both girls and have just moved into their third enclosure, this one is much bigger (more pictures in the enclosure section of the forum)

Here are the girls enjoying a bath in their new house

Gorgeous! They look great! Keep up the pictures!

 

[Redstrike]

Wow, those two are head turners for sure! Look at those colors and marbling!!!

Great looking cherry heads mine are about 8 months old right now. How old were your torts before you saw them marbling? I hope my torts marble too

I think they were about 12 to 18 months before the marbling started and then just on the bigger one (they are both the same age) now they are both marbling nicely
