thought i should add some updated pics of my leo garden and new leo shed thats attached to the greenhouse




the shed has a basking lamp ( powersun 160w) on a timer tio come on every morning at 7am and go off at night. then there is a ceramic heater set to come on if the temperature drops below 18c. the shed is fully insulated on the floor, walls and roof.

I've just got to add my own two cents...

This is my enclosures in SoCal...



I was seriously proud of them...

This is my setup in Georgia, US...


There is still work to be done...

Questions welcomed.

I thought I would post this for anyone who has young tortoises.
We moved into a new house and the garden needs a lot of work doing to it, so until we do the work and build a dedicated area for my two torts, my OH made this very simple enclosure for me. It is simple left over skirting boards fixed together and garden netting over the top. It is safe and movable, meaning when the weather is good, my torts can get outside and move around the garden all day following the sun!! I also move it to where the juiciest weeds are!!!!!
I think this is a great and cheap way for torts to get outdoors until they are bigger and spending most of their time outside.
