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
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.
