OutdooR enclosure for aldabra hatchlings

[Orko]

The first part of the project is completed, hopefully next week the lids will come.

It is 17 ft x 7 ft x 2 ft high

First bags of soil (organic) are inside, I bought 3 different types running from $ 1.40 to $ 7 per bag and will mix them and I plan to use Grazing tortoises seed mix from Carolina pet supply

Costs: so far around $ 180 for wood and screws + $ 60 in soil

Hi Fabio:

Your yard is the main reason I'd love to live in Florida. I'd just love to be able to plant stuff so it felt like I was living in the rain forest.

(The pen's nice too! )

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

These two look like they belong there!

 

[Orko]

These two look like they belong there!

That enclosure looks incredible. Please give us more pictures when it's all done. How many Aldabra hatchlings are you planning on keeping in there?

Aldabraman: I have an enclosure those would look really good in too LOL!

The project is almost completed, there are a few details missing and the.......aldabras!!

The greens are growing strong, the cover is done and next week the enclosure will finally have a couple of inhabitants.

Just like Tim...you've got a GREAT nursery there! In about 4 or 5 years, you're going to need to level YOUR house

nice looking enclosure, yours was one of those that i drew inspiration from when i designed mine. please take more pictures with the screen cover raised

 

[Tropical Torts]

That looks amazing!

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

Outstanding, Here they are!

 

[Orko]

Here are the pictures with the covers open. You can either completely open them and let them rest on the fence or just partially open them using "the state of the art holding tool"

I have used some polycarbonate roofing panel both white and transparent for rain and sun protection

All kidding aside...that's a job well done!
