There are several pine trees too. I could use those branches. I'm not sure why I didn't think of that. Especially with all the talk of using palm trees. Please excuse my blonde moment.

The tree hanging over her enclosure is a Sparkleberry tree. I haven't been able to find anything on it, but it's supposed to be related to blueberry, and it's safe for every other living thing, so my gut tells me it should be safe for her as well. I'll try that.

This is what I have so far. Excuse my gander. He thought he had to be part of the picture. I have several Christmas cacti too, but I'm letting them dry out for a day or two before repotting them because they were soaking wet when I got them. I also have a hibiscus, 3 hostas, and several more...

Mine is also inside of another fence, but I'll probably end up doing something like what you said.

Thanks! I have 5 spider plants, 2 banana plants, and several christmas cacti coming in Thursday at the latest. About 1/3 of her enclosure now has a ton of ground cover, and hopefully the rest will within the next few days. I'm tempted to get a few decent sized ponytail palms from the store, and...

Thanks! I added several artificial plants and two organic aloes, and I have several other organic live plants coming in within the next few days. I bought a few hostas and a hibiscus that I washed off really well and repotted. I guess I'll let those sit few a few months before adding them. I...

Thanks! I definitely don't plan on trying to plant it unless someone can tell me that it's safe.

That's wild ginger though, and it even says not to confuse it with the type of ginger that I have, but it doesn't say whether medicinal ginger is safe to feed or not.

I ordered a few organic plants for my tortoise enclosures off of Etsy. I received two free ginger cuttings with my order. Tortoise Table says that wild ginger is toxic, but I can't find anything about just regular medicinal ginger. Can anybody help me out?

I just ordered some artificial shrubs that will be here Monday. I'll get some tortoise safe shrubs from a garden center and let them grow out for a few months before I plant them in her enclosure.

I know it's too open at the moment, but I don't want her to try to eat something that's been sprayed with stuff that won't be safe for her, and I don't have access to anything organic without ordering it. I do have a few things on the way. I also plan on picking up a few apple trees that I can...

Here it is.

It's not the best picture, but this is her enclosure. I have some plants ordered that I will plant in the topsoil near her humid hide. I'm also thinking about planting an apple tree or two inside the enclosure. I've thrown some grass seed down, and hopefully it'll sprout before too long. So far...

She has tons of shade from trees and from the canopy over the enclosure. I'll have a few organicly grown, tortoise safe plants coming within the next few days hopefully. I just worry about her not getting food and water. I tried placing her food dish in the igloo, but she just ignores it then...

The enclosure has a canopy roof, and it's also shaded with multiple trees. I've also provided her with a humid hide along with the igloo. I've placed her food dish, with fruit in it, just outside of the igloo several times. I was finally able to get her to stay out yesterday. I soaked her for a...

I have an 8 year old female Brown Burmese that I moved to an outdoor enclosure about a week ago. I've provided her with an x-large dogloo kept at 75° for warmth and extra shelter. She won't come out of the igloo on her own. I've taken her out every day once the outside temps reach the 70s. Once...

Thanks! He's a little over 8 inches long. I've already moved my Burmese Mountain to a permanent outdoor enclosure, but I don't worry about her quite as much with cooler temps. I'll work on getting him and outdoor enclosure set up.

I'd like to let my 3 year old Sulcata start spending time outside. I live in North Alabama, and the afternoon temperatures have been reaching the upper 70's to low 80's (currently 77°). Is this warm enough to start letting him (I've always referred to it as a male even though it's too young to...

From what I've seen, I don't think it does.

At first I thought they were violets, but they are big huge tall weeds with purple flowers all over them.
