The only thing i didn't see and correct me if im wrong, but it looked like a small tort wouldn't be able to climb out of that pond. Maybe it was just the picture. But that enclosure is really amazing and VERY appealing to the eye. GREAT JOB!

Here are the details:
It measures 10' x 10', 2' tall. It is lined underground with wire 1' - 2' deep. It is made of brick and mort with redwood (unfinished) to frame the 4 wire side doors -(for roaming time), and top (to pred. proof). The hide is 2' x 3' and is heated. The "pond" is 2' x 1 - 2" deep. Starting planting from the edible list (soaked to clean) and dug out the starts of two burrows to encourage digging on the deeper side. Stacked rocks for basking.. and I think that's about it!
I've got blisters and slivers so please be kind - what have I missed??
