New Russian tortoise area

[Blakem]

I had a whole thread typed out and it closed in me, so this one is going to be shorter. It's 12X3.5 feet long and connected to Dexter, my sulcata, area. The houses are connected as well, but separated, and Ezek, my Russian, will have warm air that comes from holes that are drilled from the sulcatas heated house. Both houses are insulated. I buried chicken wire so digging cannot be done.


I'll be posting the house next.

Great job Blake! What's the pvc piping for?

 

[Blakem]

There's a little rental shop directly behind the area that it connects to. Te of no use for this area unfortunately.

Here's the house.

What a great use of space! The enclosure and the little house.

 

[Blakem]

Thanks! The little house was made completely from scrap wood and insulation from Dexters house.

Even nicer that you were able to use the scraps and not buy anything more for the house. Looks like you have a bunch of plants to put in too.

 

[Blakem]

I sure do, I planted a weed that I've seen that is edible, my girlfriend bought, and planted, red Russian kale, red mustard greens, green mustard greens, and green leaf lettuce. She also planted for another birthday day lilies, chicks and hens, and geraniums. She knows the way to my heart is through helping my animals. I got a good girl and I plan on keeping her.

I like how you made the fence. Some 2x4's chicken wire and a plywood border on the bottom. I want to copy this next time I build pens.

Good job!

 

[Blakem]

It was really cheap and it's pretty sturdy. I appreciate the compliments!

I really dig this construction of a pen. Cheap clean looking and you can see all the way through it. I might copy this setup some. Can't wait to see it finished.

 

[Blakem]

Here's the whole pen. I didn't realize I hadn't posted the end result.
