Hi folks ,long time no gab. How about some pics from tortoise owners in the "cold north" USA. How do you do it? Heres how I do it. Vic

Ha Ha Vic!! That poor tortoise is suffering the cold!! Here is how it's done in the "far north"! Ha! Yes, both are nesting!

Here is the way I do the heating chore in North Florida where we get down to the occasional 18 degree F from time to time. Anytime it's 55 and below the tortoises are forced in the coffin. All this apparatus is controlled by a Digital Thermostat. Blows those unreliable dial adjust ones away. It has the added advantage of both Infrared and ceramic heaters just in case that Red 250Watt Bulb blows. As you can see it's a nice cool day and my elongated are making Whoopie! So all is well about 45 minutes from your house Vic in Jacksonville, Fl------Happy New Year----Richard
