COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Can I see outdoor enclosures that you guys have for your torts? I'm wanting to make one but I don't even know where to begin?!!? I always look at pictures and never get tired of seeing new ones. I have something to work with here and I know I will have to pull the plants all out and start clean here. But then what?? If I begin, I just want it to be done right and safely for my torts. It's about 26 feet long and I'd definitely widen this area. It's about 3 ft wide. What plants do you guys put in for Redfoots.

Maybe if they go the wood and lattice route, it can be painted to look like proper lawn decorations.
Mine is unfinished as no one ever sees my back yard.

Since Redfoot don't dig you have easy options.
All three of my pens are basically made the same way. It's strong cheap and easily modified or made larger.
I use 4' steel fence pickets hammered into the ground 12" and then attach treated fence pickets with deck screws.
I suggest four pickets high with the bottom one flush with the ground. I've also made them 3 pickets high.
Higher walls and doors, roofs are also easy to ad.
I also use Spider plants and Bermuda grass. Tough to eat and offer hiding spots and shade.

Thanks, Ed.
You're a star.

Welcome to the Cold Dark Room, Craig.
Hope you had a nice breakfast and found a comfy armadillo.
The snow leopards prowling about today, but he only eats carrots, so don't be scared.
And have three points to begin, though it's a tad late this month.

My breakfast this morning. Not a full Monty. We had no bacon. So mushroom omelette instead.

 

[Anyfoot]

I want to know what other nations have for breakfast, with photos please, so I can copy.

I had a block of Swiss cheese and a quart of V8 juice. True story

I enjoy typing and type quite fast.

Who did Leeds United play, and what was the result? 1-0? Nothing! (Only joking Boss, ok?)

We won 1-2 at mighty Derby County, the first time we've beaten them at their place for 13 years.

But - 1 for asking, cos I'm mean.

Sounds absolutely super, though I'd have coffee rather than juice.
Cheese is good any time of day.

Is the life expectancy any longer there? There seems to be no processed garbage on the menu.

They have far too much sugar or salt in everything, so no.
Life expectancy about 70 for men, 74 for women.
But it's risen by 6 years in the last 6 years, so getting better.
