Fabulous torties and enclosures, Lynn. Is that quite an old Horsfield in the first photo?

Hi Emma,
I missed putting an explanation on the pictures, struggling with Imgur!

Yes, that's Buster he's pretty ancient! Lost most of his markings. I love his strong little solid legs. Hes tiny about 450 grams.

The second picture Is "Big Sally" by contrast, she weighs nearly 2 KG's!! (twice the weight of my other adult females) A friend got a call from her vet asking if she could help. Young couple had two in a small table & they had outgrown it (& grown & grown!) they hadn't room for a second table. My friend only keeps Hermanns & thought 5 year old Horsfield, it'll be tiny, no problem.. When they brought her round.. In a washing up bowl, she couldnt believe her eyes! 12 inches long & near filled the bowl! She had previously been fed pellets (has a surprisingly smooth shell) friend got her onto a natural diet but decided not to keep her when she moved house & realised she would need to build two greenhouses!
