......cleaning off the solar panels, and I thought, "Hm-m-m-m. This is the perfect perspective for taking pictures of habitats."
The Aldabran habitat:
In this one, you can barely see the Russian pen behind the tree on the left, the desert tortoises off at the top of the pic, the Texas tortoise habitat in the middle, and part of Dudley's habitat on the bottom:
I've mentioned "the old house that's on the back of my property" a lot in my posts. Here's the old house. It used to belong to the owner of the whole neighborhood, about 120 acres. He lived there and when he became to old to care for himself, he built the house that I live in, for his daughter to live in and care for him:
To the right of the old house is where the leopard tortoises live:
And this is the northern part of the rain forest. The southern part goes off behind the green house and to the right of the picture, but the mulberry tree is so dense you can't see it. I can never get a good picture of it:
This is where the box turtles live. The 3-toe in the far pen, and the ornates in the closer pen. Out of sight right in front of where I'm standing is the western box turtles and to their left out of the picture is the gulf coast;
This is a small, triangular-shaped pen where I keep all the mis-fits:
This is the Easterns. They're showing up as white blobs because they're in the sun and the pen is shady:
I really like the look of the grape stake fencing. Its quite easy to build, however, it takes a lot of time because the stakes are so narrow. They go down into the ground about 4 or 5 inches, but I've never seen a box turtle trying to dig out.
