    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Would like to make a medium sized heated tortie house, this would be for 3 cherry headed redfoots. It still is chilly here and I had to bring them back in :( they are not happy about that. ideas I need simple plans as I am mechanically challanged.
 
I don't want you to think no one is paying attention to your post...I found a page when I was researching sulcattas. It was basically one of those hard plastic garden sheds with a radiator-type oil-filled heater. The heater was secured behind a short 'wall' of plywood to keep the tortoise from getting too close.
As soon as I find it again, I will post the link.
 
Thanks a bunch. i would love to have a sulcata but winters would be a problem and I only have enough room for the 2 tort pens and room for the dogs to play:( I will have to stick with my little guys. Love torts, I have my beardies and a couple snakes but torties have my heart.
 
Oddly enough, I have developed an interest in turtles & torts due to a dead baby box turtle I found in my yard...they are very interesting creatures, and cute, as well.
Well, I hope that link gives you some idea of heating an area for them!
Post some photos when you get a chance (through photobucket). I'm sure others would like to see them as much as I would.
