After reading and seeing so many great outdoor habitats, I've been inspired. There is going to be some serious remodeling and building going on here this winter. I'm getting excited for cooler temps and tortoises hibernating so I can get outside and work. Meanwhile, I'll be collecting and buying building materials.
After last night's storm. I'm thinking an above ground house, and hopefully multipurpose that gives some roof coverage over their burrow entrance. I want it to look like a tiki hut with a small scale patio cover that covers the entrance of the burrow. It will be a fun challenge. If it works it will fit in nicely with my desert tropical themed back yard.
Landscaping will include Desert Tortoise grasses and wildflowers (already have the seeds) and Hibiscus which are already growing in the enclosures.
My break is over, time to get outside and do some storm cleanup.
