I posted these in a redfoot thread but thought they'd be seen by more here. All three have a hardware cloth bottom.

Hmmm..... I can't open up the pictures for some reason. It's on my end. I will have to come back & try again.

Thanks all. The tortoises and boxies are doing well in them. They've held up really well during our rainy season.

How big is your box turtle enclosure? I have one box turtle in an outdoor enclosure 4 by 5 feet. I don't know if that is big enough, I know bigger is always better but I'm thinking about expanding it for next summer What do you think?

@leigti
When my box turtles are adults they will have a much larger enclosure. Right now they are 4 inches and it's 3 x 5. By spring they will get the 6 x 10 enclosure that the cherries are currently in.
I would for sure make yours as large as possible. They really move around.

Your yard looks so nice Charlie….I'm jealous of those ferns, haha.
Thanks!!
I need to add a few larger enclosures. At some point I want to do a huge one. Not sure how to keep in predator proof with all of my trees in the yard. It may just wrap around some. I'm way more comfortable having them fully enclosed with all of the raccoons around here.
