It is taking all my resolve not to buy more, I know someone with 3 for sale but I think my wife, parents and the bank manager would all kill me

I have 2, at the moment they are cramped up inside as it's a bit cold but I have about £200 worth of insulation sitting in my utility room waiting to build a 8ftx8ft shed which will last them approximately 3 years, by then I will have completed the utility room which will give them a 20ft x 20ft indoor area.

The aluminium shed is not staying in the aldab area. You can see Dillon taking a mud bath in the first picture and Daisy wandering about near the shed, they have a fair amount of space considering their size but I am aware they grow pretty quickly and I need this area to last them for a few years.

The following picture is my Hermanns enclosures (they are all covered, I took the cover off to take the picture, from the top down there is my shed, chicken coop, baby hermans enclosure then my adult hermans enclosure.

Once the Aldabs get big and the utility room is done they can have the run of the entire garden and the smaller area they are currently in can be given to the adult Hermans. I'm not too sure where I am going to put the redfoots at the moment but once the weather improves I'll get outside and start planning properly.

Hi Fats,

Wow your torts are very beautiful not as bumpy as I had imagined through your message- they will smooth out loads. I beleive females smooth out more than males and get rounder too. How old are they both and what do they measure please? x
