It's a work in progress.

Are the blocks just stacked on top
Of one another. What type of tort do you keep in there

I've added a roof since this photo was taken. Upper half is a metal frame with chicken wire to keep large birds out. Measures 10' x 14' with ability to create separate pens on the inside.

Planted a bunch of weeds and flowers from tortoise seed kits so lots of foraging food available.

I've only set it up for my Darwin once, but am looking forward to the return of warm weather so we can get outside again ...

Decorative concrete block and polycarbonate panels. Vinyl front of warm room lifted. Home for 25 years to one male and three female Redfoots. Pen is within a fenced yard.
Hibiscus bushes in back for free food.

Here here! I have a ton of stuff left to do with mine once the warm weather returns.

This is Chug's abode. He's a DT. Growing stuff is a challenge for me, but I'm getting better at it. The black shadecloth structure is over his burrow to help with the dreadful heat here. It is about 20' x 30'.

Looks awesome. I think I’m gonna make a second enclosure for 2nd marginated. Use 2x12 and make a pen that way.

This was our outdoor pen when we first started it.

Chug has some nice diggs. No pun intended.

You can see a Russian at the feeding station.

You get hurricanes over there in Virginia? I think I see a great hurricane shelter coming up. Better move in with the torts if a storm threatens!
Nice looking work and I look forward to see the finished product!
