I happened to see these videos of Richard Fife's tortoise setups while searching for something else on youtube.

The video tour includes outdoor pens, ponds, heated houses, large indoor barn with radiant floor heat, indoor pens, incubators, and hatchling racks. Some of his tortoises are also shown, including leos, redfoots, and sulcatas. Also some Asian box turtles. Being winter, most tortoises are rather inactive, except one sulcata who's digging her nest outdoors in 50-55 degree weather. He also talks about his upcoming sulcata manual.

It's a real shame that the jerk taking the pictures wasn't any more educated than that. Shooting towards the sun???? The wind on the microphone???? Really????
