Just finished outdoors.
I have been a busy bee and have now finished. I do intend to put a shed at the end with heating so they can be outsided 24/7 from May-Sept but maybe next year, for now they will come in at night. I have 3x Hermanns.
It is 13ft x 61/2ft with a narrowing at one end. It is a little barren just now but shoots are everywhere, the main ground is Limestone chippings ( I have copied Wolfgang Wegehaupt's book)     What do you think? Thanks

Lovely!
Another wondering about plants - what's the one with the red leaves? I have loads of Pieris and Fraseri in my front (non-tortoise!) garden as I love red leaves, but haven't found anything tortoise-friendly yet so would love to know!

I have pansy's, viola, milk thistle, vetch, timothy grass, geramium, and shoots of the mixed seed from SW shop. Nothing red. Thanks for all your lovely comments, I, as many of us am very passionate about my boys.

That looks great!
 Have just got my tortoises into the shed and the man is finally coming this week to put up new fencing. Then I can work (or hubby can work  ) on their permanent outside space!

In your first photo, the 'square' (roof) nearest the camera has some kind of shrub / tree that looks as though it's planted inside the enclosure and is growing through the roof; I can see it again on the second photo. It has green and red leaves on it? It's very pretty!
