Hiya, i have 2 red footed tortoises and just after x-mas, i am going to build them a shed. Now, as they are quite valuble, they are going to have a lock and alarm. What alarm can i use? DO you use one? Can you send me a link please. And also, what is the most secure kind of lock?

Thanks, Tom.

Also, if the alarm has those, sensor things, wont the torts set it of in the middle of the night if the move around?

As far as I know torts are diurnal which means they sleep at night. I would be worried that they wouldn't get enough heat in a shed out doors. Maybe you could try a motion sensor light on the outside of the shed and a normal house alarm inside?

if you keep the sensors high the tortous wont be able to set them off
