Clifford's Enclosure, Then and Now

[tortoisestew]

I did this last summer during an aweful Texas drought. All his grass died and I had a difficult time getting it to grow back.

During a cold spell in January , while he was inside his home I tilled his enclosure and laid new sod. He didn't come out for at least a month so the sod had time to take root.

Every time I see pictures like this one, I wish I had a bigger yard. Just beautiful.

I like that Clifford (the big red sulcata?) has his own little flower bed next to his house. Nice job!

I love it. What's in the little enclosure next to his house?

Have you ordered more bricks yet? ... you will...

I have liked the odd shape since the first look at it. Is it the picture or is the wall tipping out a little on the right hand side?

It's a hibiscus flower bed.

Refresh my memory if you would, what size roughly is it? How many blocks are used in it?

 

[tortoisestew]

it's length is about 50ft and its width ranges from about 6ft to 25ft. I don't remember how many blocks I used, but it's around 350.

Very Nice! I used sod in my raised gardenbed to make an outdoor enclosure for my 2 leopard hatchlings. It's really big for them now but in 10 years or so.... they should fit into it nicely!
