Default George and Shelly's forever home!

Hi everybody, I have not posted for a while but I wanted to share pics of my torts new home. What do you think?

I have got all my day and night temps sorted thanks to great advice from Reading reptile centre so they are super cosy and seem really happy! They even went out for a walk in the rain today

Thanks for looking!
Sandra

Very nice, looks as though there has been alot of hard work involved! Just one question I was wondering why you used paper inside and not topsoil?

I thought it was much easier to keep clean and hopefully they will spend lots of time in the garden. They sleep on the slate under the heater so I didn't think they needed to burrow indoors? It was really hard work lifting all the slabs and digging down!
