Great set-up. Although it looks like you have a Split Leafed Philodendron in the enclosure. If the plant is real, philodendrons can be toxic. Looks like they'll be very happy.

Thanks, those are fake plants, the grass patches and moss are live. Today we had a nice warm sunny 72 degree day the kids enjoyed 45 mins in the sunshine and free range grazing, they loved the clovers hidden in the tall grass. SUNSHINE it does a body good.. :P

Heres Javari checkin it all out.
Image

Hey theres clovers down under that grass YUMMY!! :mrgreen:
Image

and Tikii says "HEY wheres my clover patch!"
Image


CelticRose, they sure are tiny there just to cute. You should see them when its bath/soak time they look at you with those little eyes like awwwwww man not that again LOL!!

There getting the rutine down, wake up in morn basking UVB/UVA heat light on and strip flourescent full spectrum light on, tap on side of tort table WAKE UP KIDS its bath time, soak for 20 mins while fresh greens are prepared with calcium and vitamins, then out of soak and bask for few mins then off and running to chow down then wander around and back to passing out in the humidity hide hut. LOL!!

Gorgeous! I'd like to adopt a desert tortoise, except that it would eat all my Agaves.
Agave
"American aloe plant," 1797, from Greek Agaue, proper name in mythology (mother of Pentheus), from agauos "noble," perhaps from agasthai "wonder at".
