I'm just trying to make things a bit more interesting for them.
Thanks

As Mary has said thin slate can become far to hot in full sun. But thick one piece slate works well, and it disperses the heat better. But a slab or half a slab works well, as tortoises will sit on this until grass has lost the dew:0)
Good shelter from the midday sun is great for tortoises, shrubs (as Mary said) and plants work well:0)
You will soon see what works best for them:0)
