ME SHELL · 23-07-2008, 08:43 PM

Yes would be suitable for small torts. Someone on here put a link up for them a long time ago.

kel. · 23-07-2008, 08:48 PM

would hermanns be classed as small?
Thanks

ME SHELL · 23-07-2008, 09:16 PM

I suppose it's according how old they are

It would be suitable for hatchlings and probably up to about five years old. Much older and
they need a bigger area to roam.
But brilliant for small torts.

Hello

I bought the boat shaped one for my 5 tiny hermanns.....it will be used as a sandpit for granchildren next year.

BUT personally I now wish I had got the other one....the pointed bit is useless as they hide in it and it never seems to warm up....and it looks such an awkward shape. Plus they would have more room in the other.

If you look on Tesco on line/in store....they ahd the same square one less than half price l;ast week

Well I have 2 at 8 months and 1 who's 4 years old so I think I might look about for something bigger.
Thanks everyone
