My pancake tortoise outdoor enclosure [pics]

[EKLC]

Finished building my outdoor enclosure:

Sides are 65 inch 2"x12"s, buried a couple of inches. Roof panels are made with 2"x2" frames with hardware mesh attached with poultry tack. The roof opens on a hinge.

Planted carolina pet supply grazing mix, but still waiting for some things to germinate. Also threw a couple cacti in there.
Plenty of crevices for the 'cake, but still gets too hot during the day. I cover the roof with some reflective panels.

The Captain approves!

I paid around 50 bucks

20-30 in wood, 14 for the wire mesh, 10 for hinges, screws. I feel a lot better with a secure roof though
