They are nearing completion. I think in the first pic you can see my overhead sprinkler system. This automatically waters the two raised planter areas in the russian area and the two next door in the other enclosure where "Big Daddy" the SA leopard tortoise lives all alone.
Here is the smaller pen in the foreground. It measures 4x16' and I just finished my prototype russian underground box. I'll make another thread for that one. My group of six from Carol S live in here.
Here is the left enclosure. Each of the bigger ones are 8x24'. There is 8' of over head shade across the back, and you can't see it well, but there are makeshift houses in the back for them. I used upside down dishwashing tubs and paving stones and covered them all up with a mound of dirt as a temporary pen until I can get all my underground boxes built and installed for them. Their water bowls are back there in the shady area too. My group of 6 from Melissa live in this one.
And the right one. I just planted the raised planting beds last night, but in a couple of weeks it will be nice and green. I have 8 tortoises from a breeder I found at a CTTC meeting living in here.
Questions and comments are welcome.
