: Do you have a source of cb russians?

Yes, I am not in the market for them, but I do know a few people who breed them and have produced offspring, in fact I spoke with a real nice guy the other day at the Mesa IRBA show, who has been breeding them for 15 years.

: Also kiddie pools can be made into very nice set ups for small torts. Drain holes are a must. Its also important to provide shade.

Drain holes will work for small rain storms, but it will still flood during large storms.

: You can even take one and cut the bottom out....use machine screws and washers to connect hardware cloth over the bottom.....invert this over the other pool ....connect the 2 with wing nut bolts....and you have a decently secure pen.

In my area the tortoise would be steamed, plus if you are going to that much trouble, you might as well use wood and make a pen that will stay cooler, allow grazing if placed on a lawn, and will not flood.
