Hi,

We have had Earl a week now and I have been trying to make some improvements to his housing.

Can you please let me know what you think and suggest any improvements?

Thanks

the 2 small Aloe Vera plants lasted about 5 minutes and the big one has a few bites missing

Looking good, do you have a source of water for him?

yeah I have a water bowl for him I just hadn't put it back in when I took the photo. I wanted to take the picture before he destroyed everything.

Thanks. Glad to know I'm on the right track. he seems much happier with the new layout. He climbed one of the "fences" and nose dived off but I guess he liked it as he went back and did it a second time

Hi
I am sure Earl loves his new table, you have clearly spent time creating it and I think you have done a great job, I would make sure when he does his diving that he won't land on his back under his basking lamp as overheating can be serious in young torts. so ensure this area is quite smooth or else has stones etc for him to right himself.
Its a great table well done

A brilliant enclosure, lots of stimulation. Well done.
