Here are some pics of my new outside Enclosure. I did make some final adjustment to the water area. I will be adding a lot more plants for shade. Those landscaping bricks are expensive. The bricks and the hide box is glued down and together using Landscaping Glue.
Peat Moss, Sphagnum moss yes it is. I made sure it didn't have any fertilizers or additives. Here's a video of my red Foot checking out the Soaking Pond.
Great outdoor setup...and love the water fountain... ^_^
How big are your tortoise? On the cautious side, I would move the hide away from the stone fence, as the larger tortoise might use it as a stepping stone to get out of the enclosure.
Very nice start. Will love seeing it as it matures. I do not think folks realize the time and money that go into our enclosures. Could you tell us size, how much time and money you have invested at this point please.
It's about 17ft by 20ft. I spent at least 500 bucks on the Landscaping bricks from Lowes. The fountain was about $150. Not including the pump that cost $60 from Lowes. The first plants were moved from the other enclosure so I didn't add to many new ones maybe $40 bucks worth. The peat moss ran about $100 from Lowes. I did drop another $200 today at WalMart & Home Depot for plants. Here is another video.
