Wow. That is so nice. I love the little tort on the front :p You did a great on on that... the only that make me worried is that stone standing up, I feel like he could get crushed if it fell :eek:

My Hermann is called Sparky too! Fabulous enclosure and great idea with the shelf across the top that also gives a hide (and lovely family :)) You have done a great job, well done

thank you for the nice comments. just need a couple plants to add a bit of colour. also the slate cant fall over as it has a base on it that's buried. the tortoise on the front was the kids idea.
