So now the enclosure is completely finished. He has a mini cold frame for extra heat , on a slate , with a digging area underneath . There is a raised area in the middle for him to walk over . I`ve also added some more grasses and lavender . We`ve had some rain this week , so the tortoise weeds have started to come up well . My tort seems real content in his new enclosure . Here are some more pics .http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y481/3tracy/DSCF0410_zpsa796beec.jpghttp://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y481/3tracy/DSCF0412_zps609c6ef7.jpg

That is pretty ****ing awesome

Happy tort indeed.

[rocknhorse76]

Wow, that's a very lucky tortoise!!

[sweatshirt]

Awesomeness!!

[Mark Taylor]

That looks sweet.

[Tracy33]

Thank you guys . It took around a month to build it , and cost me a little more than £500 pounds . Money well spent though , my tort seems so happy , he covers every inch . There`s even a door on the side , so he can come into the garden when I am in there . The enclosure measures 12x8 ft . You see that second cold frame in there , he likes sitting in there , today it reached 34c , as where the large frame was 24c . Thanks for looking .:)

[Tracy33]

Well have since put a greenhouse house in the new enclosure , finished it today . it has been worth the work , and I love it , so does my lucky tort . http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y481/3tracy/DSCF0602_zpsb0e2f325.jpg
