    New tort
    I picked this little one up while I was in Daytona. He is adjusting very well, and does not fear the monsters. Meet Max, our new Columbian Clown Faced Redfoot.

    Also took a more distant shot of the group eating. Max looks tiny next to Ping and Pong. We lost a few plants that didn't do well in the pen, but that is part of the learning process. Back to the nursery to find a few more species to try. We did lose the Purslaine, but that was due to the torts eating it until it was completely destroyed. This time I am going to get 2 or 3 of them, and rotate them in and out of the pen.

    Aww, he's so tiny!
    I love your pen, it's really fantastic. I am going to attempt to build one next year at my new house, just for 1 Greek though.

    Thanks everyone. I put alot of money, blood, sweat and tears in that pen. Mostly because I wanted my torts to live great, while minimizing the amount of maintenance work I would have to do. The electricity isn't run yet, so they don't have heat, which I need to get soon. The Redfoot had to get picked up last night, due to a cool snap. However, the power will be run in the next 4-6 weeks, which is also great, because I can put a sprinkler system out there, and not have to water every 2-3 days when it doesn't rain.

    I post up some more pics of inside the hut once the power is supplied.
