I recently was given a adult Chelonoidis carbonaria (redfoot tortoise). I built a enclosure roughly 10'x by 5'. Pictured below is my enclosure. I bought a cheap rubbermaid tote for $6.95, fencing for $20, tomato stakes wihich hold the fencing in for $5, and weed block that goes around the bottom for purposes of the redfoot tortoise to reduce stress, for $3. The weed block was attached to by zip ties. I also so far have planted just a hosta and plan on adding more plants. Just thought I'd share with anyone else that is keeping redfoots and has a budget. Enjoy!

Where the heck have you been, Joby? We've missed you.

That's a pretty easy enclosure to assemble, nice job.
