Today I finally had the time to put together my redfoot's outdoor enclosure!

I had wanted to keep them inside a little bit before I put them out, but it's just so warm and humid I felt it wasn't fair to keep them inside. So I headed to Home Depot to pick up some pavers and I set to work.

What do y'all think? I know I need more plants, but that's a slow process. Right now they have two aloe plants and there's a hibiscus in the planter.

It's a nice start and certainly great your getting them outside. I myself might be going with a deeper water source (not sure exact comparison size with your tortoises). I also prefer digging them level with the ground. Also my saucer like that leak the water and dries out fast. What you have done looks workable for right now. Your right more plants are needed, especially one for shade (or something else to give more shade to the area, not just their hides).

A great start! :)
