[lori12386]

Hi,
I was wondering what everyone's outdoor enclosures looked like? I want to start working on mine here soon and i need some ideas. My three have a little 4ft round one right now they go out and play in. I plan on making a large one here soon though. I would love to see pictures!!!

I've seen a lot of awesome pics of Walkingrock on the forum and I've always wondered what that patch was on his shell, if its not to rude to ask.

It's a name tag. I believe Put on by the previous owners.

There are lots of pics in the enclosure thread. You should be able to find outdoor ones there.

Love seeing Walking Rock. Handsome as ever.

Also, lots of people use landscaping timbers, brick pavers, or cinder block.

Hello Wellington!! How old is walking rock? I'm sure I've read it somewhere before, but have forgotten.

That Barrier is a Raised garden where my Leopards live... when they go outside.

Zamric, sorry I got the part about who put the name tag on Rock wrong. However, there is a post where he (Walking Rock) is mistaken for being mine. So, send him back home to me anytime LOL. Love his close up

At one pound they push over small plants. At 110lbs, they live under the ones they CANT stump down!

 

[morloch]

[Zamric]

Amazingly... The thorns dont seem to bother him much

 

[morloch]

Wow,, he's well hidden. That's a great yard for him.

I just moved, so my enclosures are still very boring, and I don't want to post pictures until they are planted and pretty . I need to get to it, but unfortunately while renovating a 5500 sq. ft. house...There just isn't enough time in the day right now.
The basic build, however, is very simply. Its reliable, easy, and something I've always used. I use 12 or 16 foot rough-cut (rough-cut is cheaper) 1x6 cattle pressure-treated cattle boards. For example, the red foot pen is 30x15. 4x4 posts at the corners, and more 4x4 posts every 6 feet. The boards are attached to this, but one row is put completely underground, so there is a 6-inch underground barrier, and then 3 boards off the ground from there (18 inches). Also, the boards are staggered for further strength. The whole build is very simple, reliable, and extremely sturdy.

Here is an enclosure I used many, many years ago, when I lived in Miami and only had a couple red foots. There were cherry heads on one side of the divider, and only one pair of red foots on the other. This was recently after it was built, so it wasn't landscaped much yet. I always try to add as many hibiscus as possible for shade. The cage in the background is an iguana cage, as you can see from the bright green lizard on the stick .
