Hello all! I am preparing for the arrival of a desert tortoise named Morty! I’m clearing out weeds that the rains brought on like an instant forest! I recently moved from an apartment into this house and realized I don’t have yard tools. So the weeds won this round! Besides cleaning up one of my main concerns was the deck. It’s only 5.5 inches high. Is this a hazard? Morty is a decent sized tort see pictures. I’d just rather be safe then sorry. I was thinking I could line the deck edge with cinder blocks to discourage any adventurous ideas he may have. Ideally I would like to give him full run of the backyard. I know I have to put visual barriers on the gates and I need to put a couple more rows of blocks on the mulberry tree area. So any suggestions or concerns would be much appreciated! Thanks!
