Outdoor enclosure completed in Cyprus! What do you think?

[Cyprus Lady]

I have tried to create a nice garden feature that also happens to have a tortoise in it. my husband built the wall for me although I wasn't expecting anything quite so substantial!

Steel reinforced foundations, concrete going in

Block wall

The wall being rendered - it will be spritzed to match the house

The view from one end with Miss Polly down the other end

. She took a nibble at everything

She has a makeshift house until tomorrow when I'll buy her a terracotta pot.

What do you think?

Very cool....is that a water sprayer bottle in the corner behind the plants? Beautiful tortoise by the way....and fantastic wall

When can Joe and I come to stay?

Very nice, my guess is propane on the tank ascott.

That should be one happy tort!

Thanks everyone! Miss Polly has been very active since she went in there which I'm hoping is because she likes it. Today I'll buy her a terracotta hide and I was thinking of getting a couple of turfs.

Yes the tank is a gas canister which supplies gas to the hob in the kitchen. There is no mains gas in Cyprus.

Instead of turf, what about heat hardy plants like Rosemary, lavender, etc? Your tort can burrow under them to keep cool.
And perhaps add a couple of terra cotta pots as hides in different locations for more choices.
Have you looked at the Tortoise Table UK site for plant ideas?
