Box Turtle!!

[Italianlnm]

I would like to see what type of enclosures you guys have for your box turtles!!

I have had this species before, particularly Eastern boxies, and I have had 2 ornates.

This is when I was younger.

I want to see what you all use, in hopes of redoing what I have, if I see any great ideas, that I would like to use. I tried to be creative, but sometimes.. My artistic thinking skills, and what it actually ends up being don't always match up.

Any pictures would be great.

Thanks all.

This was Izzy's enclosure that she used to share with Pio but I changed it all around now and it's just for Pio.

Did you look on http://turtle_tails.tripod.com/backyardturtles/backyardturtles.htm
He has some really good idea's for his boxies outdoor gardens.

Today Pio had to share again, because the new boxie garden still isn't finished.

How did you make that small pond with the edges being slanted? It almost looks cement.

That's a stream that goes into the little pond. I had to put some river rocks in it because it was too deep for my Redfoot, but the boxies swim pretty good in it.
I put down a pond liner first and then some black cement. In the little pond there is a hole (made before the cement dried) where the pump is for the stream.
