thats about the cheapest you will get it too. have looked around as my mum will have her torts this summer so i need to start preparing her for hibernating them.

just struck me as such a clever idea, with it being dual purpose it can be used much more efficiently than a fridge and seperate bator!

hey just looking at it now it looks ok actually dont it may have to invest in one if i get my females not badly priced either for a combi
