nice looking enclosure
How deep do those wooden sides go into the ground?
when i was looking into maybe getting a tort i was told that the sides need to go 2 feet into the ground or they will dig under them and escape.

hmm Andy i dunno if ur aware but as of 1st of november i think it is you're going to need a license for mat, and u need to apply for a EPS license too...if matrix doesn't have one, then they can come and take him away, n puthim to sleep. check the thread ssthisto started in the shelled section about what do u keep.

I'm hopeless at explaining things.

but nice pics


Katie
