aww its really pretty! only thing id say is the torts will probs be able to climb up onto the roof of that house/hut and escape! so maybe try moving it into the middle, or put some high sides up around that edge bit of the table? apart from that its ace, well done!

Grunt (the bigger one) & Grenade inside of their home. They are all over the place, nothing is tidy but if they're happy I'm happy

Oh they go on it all the time, no worries Their home is an open top fish aquarium that I had lined the sides with wood. It's great, it has great air circulation and temps are properly met. Cheers for the comment though.

Thanks!. When we first got Grunt&Grenade they had a much smaller cave/hide and they would bump shells over who gets to go in first. With this bigger cave/hide they both crawl in and go all the way to the back and even sleep in there all night. It's supported by compacted hemp and stones. Oh and they do use the slate ramp which is really good so they don't fall off the lip of the cave and die under the light. They both have room to crawl under the ramp to get in as well. It was fun setting it all up.
