A New Outdoor Enclosure for 1yr Old Elongated Tortoise

[g4mobile]

I just finished an outdoor enclosure for my 1yr old Elongated Tortoise. The plants include Boston Fern, Plantain and Dandelion, which need to grow a bit. I included a small amount of shade cloth to keep the high heat and UV down here in South Florida. The top screen panels came out nice and predator proof. I think our little "Palmer" is happy based on his/her recent photo attached. The enclosure is 13ft x 4ft and attaches to my Burmese Star tortoise enclosure. I have a tortoise sanctuary happening in the back yard.

So nice. Great enclosure design. If I ever move to a more humid area this is the first new species I will acquire. That is a beautiful tortoise. Something about them is just so appealing to me.

Thank you Tom. Yes, the Elongated tortoise is such a wonderful species with a lot of character. Not shy at all, much like the Burmese Star tortoise I purchased from you back in 2018.

This is our 6 y/o Burmese Star enclosure (250 SqFt). He's under the Boston Fern, his favorite spot.
