I was blessed to grow up on this beautiful property that includes a patch of woods in the back. All me, my siblings and cousins ever did growing up was play hide n seek back here and tight rope over the empty koi pond.
It's time I utilized it.
For years, the box turtles have lived in front of the tree line to the woods, but this year i decided why not put them inside.(The cross is from a tort I had that passed suddenly years ago.)
I know they'd appreciate it more. I have thirteen posts to put in the ground today. I decided to incorporate some of the trees themselves into the enclosure.We're getting slammed with rain later tonight carrying into three days. I can at least have them in the ground to get started. Right now the box turtles are still in their brumation box so I should be done by the time they wake up next week. I'm a one man show, but my excitement keeps me going.
Originally, it was my dream to use this pace for redfoots. The entire thing, but I knew I'd have to figure out their living arrangements for winter as I don't have a shed to insulate just yet. My neighbor said I could have hers, but it would take a crew and machinery to get it, but one day?
There's also a koi pond built in the 60s I've yet to touch. My koi are still in the house. I have the liner, I just have to build the filtration. I'm looking into some sort of solar power as it's far from the house. Gonna get some cameras and lights soon. I'll update you guys on the progress.
