I started working on the outside enclosure for my impressed tortoise today,after the trees leaf out completely it will only get filtered sun until about noon in mid summer and no direct sun later in the day. when I got her I wasn't sure there was a good place here for the enclosure so I watched how the sun moved from morning to night last summer and I believe this spot will work and not get to hot.I still have a lot to do but it's a start, I am moving established plants from other places in the yard to give her a lot of hiding spots.
