[Michael Pancari]

Hey everyone,

I will soon be acquiring some Russian torts, and was curious about everyone's habitat or enclosures, Whether they be inside or outside. I thought it would be cool if people posted pictures of theres and there neat ideas

Right now, because of all the rain we had this winter, my Russian tortoises' yard is quite overgrown. I'll have to take the Weedeater to it before I get the tortoises up from hibernation:

I know you're kidding, but just for the sake of keeping me honest - I would NEVER, EVER, put a different species into another species' yard!!

Can't wait to have my tortoise yard on its way after seeing some pics

It's 8x8 and sides are about 18 inches high with 6 inches below ground level.

I've built all my pens out of 2x12 pt lumber..4x4 burried 2 ft down every 6ft...Oldest one is going on 4 yrs and all I have done is pressure wash it a few times..

Bought some pt wood today. Got it from the 70% off pile at home depot

Looks awesome. Anyone have estimates on how much there enclosures cost them

 

[Michael Pancari]

This is the start. Will be building a lid because we have hawks around. It serves as my baby redfoots outdoor recess time at the moment
