Here is our "tortoise island." What do y'all think? We're open to any suggestions or ideas you might have to make it more tort friendly!


   
   

Thanks!

RE: Tortoise Island

That looks really nice! The only thing I would suggest is maybe some more areas to hide in. They are some lucky torts!

Looks great Jake. Wish I had that much room, I'd have a bushel of torts Wink

That's really beautiful, Autumn! It looks very professional. And comfy for the tortoises. I see the Aldabran on the one side, but who lives on the other side?

RE: Tortoise Island

Whoa thats awesome . Nice work! Have youhad any trouble with them climbing those type of blocks? They are really nice , I didnt use them because of the way they are jagged like that it makes it easyer for tortosies to climb on them. I used the smooth cinderblocks and still have them climbing like they are half monkeys. Im talking about redfoots.

Any ways , looks great.

RE: Tortoise Island

Jake, I can clearlly see the Aldabra but is that a Sully I see tucked into the far corner in the second pic?

And what a cool idea (first Pic) to build a slide for the torts to use to get back over the wall into their enclosure Wink

RE: Tortoise Island

Thanks! The other side is for the sulcatas. Yes, they are tucked in the corner. It's their favorite corner while the aldabras like to be under the yuccas.
