What do you think of my tortoises new home?
It's a custom made castle, filled with substrate & coconut fibre with substrate in the hide & plenty of room for them to run about in - they love it!

How awesome! I like the little guard turtles lol. I can't really see inside the enclosure though cause of the light.

Thank you everyone! The light is on a timer & due to turn off in about 10 mibs so I'll take some pictures of the inside of it & post them then. The light is so bright it's hard to get a good picture! They have guard tortoises on another side of it too but they're actually garden ornaments that I didn't want to put in the garden!

The ramp is removable & the hide is raised so they can get underneath it & have more space to roam about in & if the ramp is in then they can also hide underneath it. They are only babies, Consuela hatched September 2010 & Diego hatched June 2011 so will be a great home for them for a few years.
Consuela is hiding but if you look you can see Diego next to some rocks, he loves being there as he gets a lot of heat from the rocks.

Very cool. Does the drawbridge work? Now you need a moat. Maybe with some alligator snappers in there... :)

Haha! No Tom unfortunately it doesn't work, I was a bit disappointed but then I didn't ask the carpenter to make it open - I should have done! Me & my boyfriend were going to make some form of moat - great minds thinking alike!
