My bf lives in Peoria (75th and Union Hills) so I am out that way often. It is a nice area, definitely comparable to where I am. I hate the drive though! haha

Going to start building an outdoor enclosure for my hatchlings. Will post pics as I go. Any do's or don'ts? Ideas? I will be using cider blocks with a screen with 1/4 inch holes for the roof. Planting Bermuda grass and Mallows. Running a drip line for water. Den will be cinder block as well. Thanks

I'm in the Peoria/Glendale area.

 

[ArizonaKid39]

What kind of tortoise do you have? I don't know of any. Maybe you could ask a personal friend. Good Luck

Just started building Sadie and Dazie' outside enclosure. The enclosure measures 8'x11. Still not finished. Will post more pics as it comes along.
