This is what Ive been working with today. A lot to do but the weather is too cold for torts anyway... Maybe after 5 weeks its warm enouhg.

Good job Tazia. Decking is great! Cheap & solid. I have some enclosures made a few years ago now from decking housing my adults & they are still going strong! Love your little house!

If I remember correctly I think they were not bought in the UK but hopefully Jonathan will be on with the answer to where they were bought

Hi there. Those coldframes are great in all sorts of ways. They let in uvb and the design of them is brilliant but they were expensive and v. difficult to get hold of.
I've now got 2 other uvb transmitting coldframes too which were much cheaper. The Jewel Paula comes in at £200. It's easy to assemble. Designed for tortoises and has a sliding roof with a mesh underneath. So the roof can be open to the air in good weather but the torts can't be attacked by birds. https://www.bluelizardreptiles.co.uk.../9001567201467 It says in the blurb there that the cold frame is made of polycarbonate which is selling it short. It's made of Alltop which is uvb transmitting and has two walls so like double glazing. Great for keeping heat in. I'd say the Paula is well worth looking at for anyone getting a coldframe for a tortoise.

Hi CB. Wow that was ten years ago.
Yes even the smaller Hermann gets up to 1kg eventually, well the girls do.

Thanks for the info. Is there any breeder you would recommend for the Hermanni Hermanni? I'm looking for a male and a female. Also, with your outdoor arrangements, do you let them hibernate outside or do you bring them inside and what's your experience of the thh? Many thanks. |
