New outdoor enclosure!

[Scooter]

I started on the outdoor enclosure today for my torts! I have the structure up but I still need to paint it, add some more plants, hides, and water dishes.

The area at the bottom is for my Russian, the middle is for the redfoots, and the last area is for my hingeback.

They get morning and after noon direct sun and during the hottest part of the day it is shaded with patches of direct sun.

I love watching people's new enclosures take shape. Nice job. Good-looking woodwork too.

That's going to be great. What is the plant in the round pot next to the enclosure.....it has a little orange thing growing on it.

Yvonne and Terry thank you. I was a little worried how it would look since this is the first wood project I have designed. The pots next to the enclosure have roses in them.

It looks great! I really like how you divided it into sections like that, plus the fact you can look out your window and spy on them!

I am sure you have already seen this, but make sure you block up the sections where the wood meets the house, as there are gaps and the torts might try to go through them.

I have seen those spots and am working on closing them up, thank you though. That is the bedroom window, so first thind every morning I get to look out and see them!

Very nice!!! I wish I could see Nelson's outdoor enclosure from a window

 

[Scooter]

Thanks Tom and Katie.

I was able to go back and paint the enclosure today. I still need to add some more plants, water dishes, and hides. The tortoises will move in later this week!

[Scooter]

I love it when people put up play by play pictures of building their torts enclosures. I love how the paint matches the house. Very nice work.

looks great so far, keeep up the good work

 

[Scooter]

Thanks everyone, I still have a lot of work to do. I still need to add some more plants and I have some grass seed in there I am trying to get to sprout. I am also going to add a hide box. The torts are in it and they seem to love it! They have been cruising all around and starting eating the weeds and grass right away! I will post pics of them soon.

Very clean looking. I like the matching paint. It amazes me to look at all of the outdoor pens that people build, and to see how different they are from the next guy's, but how effective they all are. It just proves the age old saying, "there is more than one way to skin a cat". Definitely post some pics once the torts get in there.

Looking good! How are things going with getting the male hingeback?
