Well I got up this morning with all intentions of painting the garden fencing. But after having weighed and bathed all the torts I decided to make some alterations to the babies indoor table while they were outside.

After 4 hours, we went from

Treacle and Tyson seem to love it. Legs 11 was so tired after his day in the sunshine, he dug down and went straight to sleep.

Looks brilliant Gail. I think that the longer we have our shelled friends and the tighter space becomes, the more creative we become. Fantastic job, love it. :D

Thank you for your comments. They all seem to like their new table. There is a bit of a basking spot issue at the moment, that i can't think how to rectify. The heat light shines down on the middle one of the ramps, and is getting a bit warm. I shall get a lower watt bulb at the weekend to lower the temperature for them. But in order to bask they have to stop half way up the ramp or rest on the side piece that joins the two ramps. However, they do seem to be coping with it, and it is only for when they are in the house. I get them outside as often as our dodgy weather will let me.
