Thanks to teh original poster...I got 10 this morning..

Why 10? well lots of tortoises and areas...plus...silly me...last year planted them IN the enclosure...of the biggies. They promptly ate them....stems and all..

The ones in Aldi are quite big and healthy and come in 4 colours at 3.99 each..

i have so many young plants and weeds growing in the pen ( pics somewhere on here) - tho loads more planted since i took the pics i should add, is this a good idea or is it best to have a plain pen?

Best with plants in I would say, they hide under them. you need some open areas too though for basking
