pictures of enclosures and pens

[Mel]

Is there a thread with pictures accumulated of indoor and outdoor enclosures from members to easily scroll through? Maybe it could be added to the top as an important thread(?) Just wondering. Looking to get ideas to improve ours. Thanks.

That's a wonderful idea! I second that!

Go to the enclosure section:
http://www.tortoiseforum.org/Forum-Tortoise-Enclosures#axzz1llNzyvbe
at the top of the green header bar on the L, go back to the first page, which right now is page 131 (most recent page is #1), then scroll forward page by page. Some of the older threads no longer have viable pictures, but most do.

Okay so if I resized correctly and got lucky here is a pic of our Yellow Foot's outdoor pen. We are getting some new soil tomorrow as we had a good bit of rain and didn't realize it would flood. We need to replace the soil originally removed. Anyone have suggestions on improving it? I'm wondering if we should put a shade cloth frame over it. The smaller pen next to it is for our Salcutas.

I second the photo gallery idea.

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

I third the idea!

 

[Tropical Torts]

An enclosure gallery sounds like a fantastic idea to me.

I think I could offer a pic or 2 for outdoor enclosures to the Gallery.... or at least show off The Bunker as it is being called (very appropriatly I might add!)

My indoor Vivarium tho needs tweeking!

Okay so that's four of us. Does a Mod need to start it? How can we suggest it? Check out my pen for any advice to improve it please. Thanks. Mel

We have a Photo Gallery, but there isn't a heading in the gallery just for enclosures. I'll ask Josh to add it. Then we all can add our enclosures to it. Give it a week or so.

Up at the top of each page it says: Forums, Portal, Search, Guidelines, TFO store, Photo Gallery, member list, etc.

Looking forward to it as well. Love the idea of easily scrolling through enclosure photos.

 

[Honey]

I like that idea, too!

 

[Mel]

Anybody able to do this or should we just start a thread that is easy to search?

Here's another pen for my smaller Salcatas. I added a pool for them. Tip: I had to add mini slabs of stone to make crawling out easier because one of them flipped themselves in the water without it while trying to get out.

This is moose's house, it was fine when he was a little small but he is big enough to get out now. Almost every other day he gets out.

Found the idea on this forum last year.

 

[Jacqui]

A request has been sent to Josh on this.

 

[nicoleandrocky]

i like that idea

 

[Mel]

There have been a lot of hits on this post perhaps everyone could share their ideas and pics right here.

So I coulodn't quite get the link to work but I googled Kennel tortoise enclosure and found dog fenced kennels being used. I have an unused dog run across the back yard. My husband should be able to turn it into several pens for the various tortoises. See pic I found.
